McCarty’s Gallery Restaurant Chocolate Cobbler

McCarty’s Gallery Restaurant Chocolate Cobbler has a buttery, tender crust and a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate sauce. This is a simple layered dessert that’s easy as 1 2 3.

Chocolate Cobbler

First of all, if you’re not from the area you may be wondering who is McCarty. McCarty, as in McCarty Pottery is handmade pottery started in the 1950s by Lee and Pup McCarty. A native of Merigold, MS located in the Mississippi delta, Lee and Pup returned to his hometown after becoming a freelance artist to spin pottery.

As well, I had the honor of talking with Mr. & Mrs. McCarty several times on pottery buying trips to Merigold. They both were very interesting people. Read more about their pottery here, McCarty Pottery.

I’ll admit, I like to drive 2 hours to Merigold is to purchase a new piece of pottery or two from McCarty Pottery. The other reason is for the Gallery’s famous chocolate cobbler! (The Gallery is the McCarty restaurant near the pottery store.)

I tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to duplicate the cobbler recipe before finally getting it right. Honestly, I was trying to make it too difficult. Actually, it’s a very simple recipe to make. Finally, I used the layered technique that I use in my other cobblers. It is perfection.

As well, all the ingredients are simple and you more-than-likely have on hand. Because of this, my McCarty’s Gallery Restaurant Chocolate Cobbler makes a great dessert. It’s easy to make for unexpected guests. Finally, when you’re craving a dessert but don’t want to go to the store you can make this in just minutes.

Tips

Flour, sugar, milk, vanilla, butter, and water is all that it takes to make this decadent dessert.

  1. First of all, This recipe really is as simple as layering everything in the pan. Don’t overthink it.
  2. Additionally, you can use all-purpose flour. The substitution amounts for self-rising flour to all-purpose flour is in the post, Peach Pecan Cobbler.
  3. As well, I do not recommend using margarine or substitute butter. Use real butter.
  4. Finally, I do not recommend reducing the amount of sugar. The sugar, butter, cocoa, and water cook together to make the sauce.

    In your instructions you say; ‘Combine brown sugar and cocoa powder.’ How much cocoa powder?
    Cocoa powder isn’t listed in the list of ingredients.

      It took me a minute looking at it myself the ad is separating the last ingredients. (ugh 😒 – I’m going to try and fix that!) It’s 1/2 cup cocoa powder.

    This is a super easy and delicious recipe to make. I was curious, if I wanted the sauce to be more of a caramel sauce, rather than chocolate, would I just omit the cocoa? And should anything else be adjusted or added? Thanks for the great recipe.

    I made this last night (2 separate batches) and both were SO runny. The flavor was amazing but the top got almost burnt and the rest of the ‘filling sauce’ stayed super runny. It was no easy to eat and didn’t ‘blend’ well in my mouth. Do I have to add THAT much water? Should I stir the brown sugar/cocoa mix a little so it doesn’t get super crispy?

      I’d start with calibrating your oven> https://www.callmepmc.com/how-to-calibrate-your-oven/
      Next, you have to use the exact ratios, mixed/layered exactly as directed.

    does it really only serve 6? Can the recipe be doubled and still fit in a 9X13 Pan?

      it will serve probably up to 10, however, I’ve found that everyone wants a large serving size

    If I were to add toasted pecans to this recipe, at what point in the process do you think would be the best to add.

      I would add them either first to the butter like in this recipe. https://www.callmepmc.com/pecan-cobbler-and-reasons-i-blog/

    I don’t usually like chocolate cobblers, but I was having company and had all of these ingredients, so with the help of my 16 month old granddaughter, we decided to try it out. This was the best I’ve ever had and it was so easy and quick to make. It was a huge hit with everyone! I will definitely be making this again.
