Introducing cherry cobbler for two. Yes, please! Sometimes I don’t actually want to bake something that yields enough dessert to feed a small village (sometimes I do). That’s where this lovely little beauty comes in!
Situations in which this Cherry Cobbler would be perfect:
- You’re having a friend over for dinner
- You’re only baking for one or two people
- Date night
- Stay-in-Saturday night with yourself or significant other (Is that a thing? I think we should make it a thing. Staying home in your comfy slippers with a yummy dessert is underrated!)
- Any time you want a super simple dessert
- Any time you want a super simple dessert that’s on the healthier side
- You’re trying to finish off that last sad scoop of vanilla ice cream in the freezer
Have I convinced you to make this yet? I hope so!
I totally recommend making the pie crust from scratch here – it’s super easy and you can use the cheat method of mixing it up in a food processor! I used this pie crust recipe, cut down to one quarter of the amount. Don’t worry – I’ve already done the math for you in the recipe (found at the end of this post).
But, you can also use pre-made pie crust to make this even simpler. I won’t tell ?
I almost forgot to tell you my favorite reason to make this — you get to make and eat the cutest, most delicious, crisp and sweet piecrust snowflakes!
So, so, good.
Is there anything better than eating a warm dessert, topped off with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, melting into luscious puddles? No, the answer is no ❤.

Cherry Cobbler for Two
Ingredients
- FOR THE PIE CRUST:
- 3/4 cup flour
- Pinch of salt
- 4 1/2 TBS cold butter cut into chunks
- 3 TBS cold water
- 1 tsp sugar
- FOR THE CHERRY FILLING:
- 2 1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen tart cherries
- 4 tsp cane or granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 beaten egg for egg wash
- Coarse sugar for decorating I used cane sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add all the pie crust ingredients except the water into a food processor and pulse a few times until combined. Add the water, and pulse a few more times until a crumbly dough forms. Add a bit more or less water as needed. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap to refrigerate while you make the filling.
- Gently mix together all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins sprayed with non-stick spray (mine were 6 ounce ramekins). Set aside.
- Roll the pie dough out to about 1/4 inch on a lightly floured surface. Cut snowflakes out using a cookie cutter or another shape of your choice. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Brush the snowflakes with egg wash and arrange a few on top of the cherry mixture in each ramekin. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Add the rest of the snowflakes to a baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the cherry cobblers for about 25-27 minutes, or until the cherry mixture is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Bake the remaining snowflakes for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and the extra snowflakes!

YES!!!! You have convinced me to make this. The decorations are beautiful! Also to answer your question, “Stay-in-Saturday night with yourself or significant other (Is that a thing? I think we should make it a thing. Staying home in your comfy slippers with a yummy dessert is underrated!)” YES, it is a thing lol. That’s my plan today after I run all over the place with the kids. Great idea and recipe!

This is making me so hungry! I love the little snowflake shapes on top. This has to be the ultimate comfort food dessert – I’d serve it with a scoop of vanilla icecream on the side.
