Peach & Raspberry Cobbler {with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!}

{If you haven’t entered my Fiber One Giveaway, you’re going to want to! Make sure to leave a comment HERE!}

This is my latest obsession: fruit cobblers. I seriously can’t get enough. {And the raspberry bush on our property isn’t helping.} There is something about warm fruit with a delicious sugary topping with cold vanilla ice cream that makes me weak at the knees. And of course I convince myself that “cobbler is healthy because it has fruit in it!” so I eat half the pan.

Yeah, I’m smart like that. And I wonder why I don’t lose weight….psh!

These last few weeks I’ve been so interested in cobblers and the different fruit combinations I can do, so prepare yourselves for more of these kinds of recipes. {I swear…that ice cream maker started this whole ball rolling….that machine will be the death of me!}

Consider yourselves warned!

One of the reasons why I love these desserts so much {besides them tasting utterly divine} is because they are no muss no fuss. You don’t have to be precise or try to make it look good. It always comes out looking bubbly, golden and beautiful! And then once you top the whole thing off with homemade ice cream, people can’t help but be impressed.

Of course you’ll want to drop some obvious hints like “yes, everything is completely made from scratch!” and “I even picked the raspberries myself!”

Sometimes, I can’t help but channel Martha Stewart….minus the whole insider trading and then going to jail part.

Of course you could just buy the ice cream and the fruit and say you did all that stuff anyways. I won’t tell a soul.

Needless to say this was a hit at my house and our company asked for seconds. It was gone in a matter of minutes and then two days later, I made it again. Yes, it really is that good.

And, I am convinced that there would be world peace if everyone had some of this in their lives.

And with that, here’s the handy dandy recipe that you will want to print and frame. Have a great Wednesday!
