This rich and fudgy Chocolate Cobbler for Two is the perfect quick, easy microwave dessert! It’s truly decadent and completely irresistible with a scoop of ice cream!
Remember the “mug cake” craze? I guess it really hasn’t gone anywhere…and for good reason. Everyone needs a little something sweet from time to time and a small, microwavable portion size is always a bonus!
Chocolate Cobbler has always been a huge hit with family, friends and followers of Dance Around the Kitchen. One night, I was craving some Chocolate Cobbler, but didn’t need a huge pan of it (just needed to satisfy that pregnancy craving, ha!!). Therefore, I did a little experimenting and decided sharing this small batch recipe was a must! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!
Ingredients Needed
- All Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder – Be sure it isn’t expired 😉
- Salt
- Sugar
- Cocoa Powder
- Vegetable Oil
- Milk – Any type of milk will work (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc)
- Brown Sugar – Light or Dark will work great
- Boiling Water – Or, if you’re a coffee lover, try hot coffee instead!!
How do you make Chocolate Cobbler for Two?
For real, it’s easy. There are just a couple important steps that you’ll want to pay close attention to.
First, you’ll make a simple batter right in the dish you’ll cook it in (I love having few dishes!).
Next, you’ll mix a few dry ingredients and sprinkle it on top; do NOT stir.
Lastly, you’ll pour boiling water over the top and put it right in the oven. It’s super important that you do NOT stir after pouring the water on top. I know, it seems odd, but it works!
You can either microwave on HIGH for 2 1/2 – 3 minutes OR bake for 15 minutes at 350F and enjoy warm!

Literally horrible I followed the recipe to a T and this was mushy and gross
Hmmm I’m sorry it didn’t work for you! Many people enjoy this recipe, so I’m not sure what would’ve gone wrong.
I was hungry for something chocolatey and gooey…came across this recipe and it definitely hit the spot! Quick and easy and superb with a spoonful of ice cream!
So happy to hear! Thanks for taking the time to write a review! 🙂
This was AMAZING
I added chocolate chips on the top an vanilla ice cream!
The only reason I’m giving 4 and not 5 is because while making this, I was a bit concerned about if I was doing it right as instructions were semi-unclear.
Best microwave dessert ever! <3
Thank you for your feedback, Justice! I’ll take a look at the instructions and make sure they’re as clear as can be! 🙂 ~Kelsey
My favorite recipe!
easiest recipe ever!
For a quick and easy microwave dessert, I think this is a very good recipe! I used cacoa powder, and doubled up on the amount called for, as I wanted to be sure it was chocolatey enough (and it was). I think I might add a touch of vanilla flavoring if I were to make it again. I have been wanting to try chocolate cobbler, but honestly seeing the amount of sugar and butter in the full versions, I just couldn’t bring myself to make it– this was perfect and I love having small amounts of dessert made, so it isn’t sitting around being eaten on for days then (since there are just 2 of us in the house). Had with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it satisfied the craving for some dessert tonight without being a big ordeal in the kitchen. Thank you!!! Will be checking out your other recipes! PS- For those with a smaller, weaker microwave, note I cooked for a full 5-6 minutes on high.
Thank you for the thorough review!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 ~Kelsey
