What Pairs Well with Bourbon Peach Cobbler?
Vanilla Ice Cream: The classic choice! A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream adds a cool contrast to the warm cobbler. The cold and creamy texture blends harmoniously with the sweet and boozy notes of the dessert.
Whipped Cream: Dollop some freshly whipped cream on top of your cobbler for a lighter, airy touch. The subtle sweetness of whipped cream enhances the overall dessert without overpowering the peach and bourbon goodness.
Caramel Drizzle: Elevate the decadence by drizzling warm caramel sauce over the cobbler. The buttery and sweet notes of caramel complement the bourbon and add an extra layer of indulgence.
Chopped Nuts: Sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, over the cobbler before serving. The nutty crunch provides a delightful contrast to the softness of the peaches and the cakey batter.
Bourbon-Infused Whipped Cream: Take your whipped cream to the next level by infusing it with a hint of bourbon. Whip the cream as usual, then fold in a tablespoon of bourbon for a subtle boozy twist.
Fresh Mint Leaves: Garnish your cobbler with fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness. The minty aroma complements the warmth of the dessert and adds a refreshing touch to each bite.
Hot Coffee or Tea: Enjoy your cobbler with a cup of hot coffee or tea. The warmth of the beverage enhances the comforting aspect of the dessert, making it a perfect pairing for a cozy evening treat.
Bourbon Coffee or Tea Infusion: Take the beverage pairing up a notch by adding a splash of bourbon to your coffee or tea. This boozy infusion echoes the bourbon in the cobbler, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
Remember, the key is to balance the textures and flavors. Feel free to mix and match these options based on your preferences, and let your taste buds guide you to the perfect pairing for your Bourbon Peach Cobbler adventure! 🍑🥃🍨
How to Make a Bourbon Peach Cobbler
Before we get to the good stuff, make sure you have these essentials in your kitchen:
Equipment Needed:
Instructions:
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Place ½ stick of unsalted butter in a 2-quart baking pan. You can also use an 8x8 baking pan.
Allow the butter to melt in the preheating oven. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.
Prepare Peach Compote:
In a large skillet, combine 2 cups frozen sliced peaches, 1/4 cup high-quality Bourbon, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil on medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and, if desired, cut peaches into smaller pieces.
Layer the Batter & Peaches:
Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until combined.
Slowly add 1 cup whole milk, whisking until just combined.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan but DO NOT STIR.
Carefully spoon the prepared peach compote over the batter but DO NOT STIR.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the cobbler is beautifully browned.

Craft the Bourbon Sauce:
While the cobbler is baking, prepare the Bourbon Sauce.
In a medium saucepan on low heat, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter.
Add 1 cup sugar and an egg, whisking to blend well.
Cook over LOW heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (usually around 10 minutes).
Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup Bourbon to taste.
Ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
Final Touch:
Once the cobbler is done baking, pour as much of the Bourbon Sauce as desired over the warm dessert.
Reserve extra sauce for dipping or additional drizzling.
Dive in and relish the delightful fusion of flavors!
Yield:
My Bourbon Peach Cobbler recipe serves approximately 8, making it perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.
Storage & Shelf Life:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
The cobbler can last up to 3 days, maintaining its flavor and texture when reheated.
Substitutions & Variations:
If bourbon isn't your preference, substitute it with vanilla extract or leave it out for a non-alcoholic version.
You can also add a handful of chopped nuts to the batter for a delightful crunch.

FAQs:
Q: Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
A: Absolutely! Adjust the quantity based on the size and ripeness of your fresh peaches.
Q: Is there a non-alcoholic alternative to bourbon?
A: Vanilla extract is a fantastic substitute, adding a rich flavor without the alcohol content. Substitute 1 Tablespoon of high-quality vanilla extract in the Peach Compote and in the Bourbon Sauce.
Q: How do I prevent the bourbon sauce from curdling?
A: Keep the heat low and stir constantly. If it does curdle, blend it until smooth using a blender.
Tips & Tricks:
Allow the butter in the pan to fully melt but avoid burning it during preheating.
Resist the temptation to stir the batter and peach compote once poured; this creates a delightful layered effect.
Keep a close eye on the bourbon sauce while cooking—low heat and constant stirring are the keys to a silky smooth texture.
