Blueberry Cobbler with Caramelized Peaches and Whipped Cream

You've asked me to post a Paleo treat from the beginning of my blog, I was hesitant at first because I want everyone to understand that these treats are just that, a treat, and should not be eaten regularly. This is a great dessert for a summer evening dinner party. It can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. I would suggest making the whipped coconut cream right before serving. That way, it's light and fluffy! You can also change out the fruit to whatever is seasonal. I've adapted this recipe from a new cookbook I bought, "Gather" by Hayley Mason and Bill Staley. Pick it up ASAP, it's awesome!! I want to make everything in this book like right now!!

** Remember, if you are doing a Sugar detox or Paleo challenge, this is not an approved recipe so wait till your done then enjoy! **

Blueberry Cobbler- Serves 8-ish

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Zest of half a lemon
2 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Grade B Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 ounces fresh blueberries

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium size mixing bowl combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, and lemon zest.

In a small mixing bowl, combine eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup and butter with a hand mixer until smooth. (Or you can use a whisk and get a good arm workout).

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Add the blueberries to the center of the mixture and then gently fold in the blueberries.

Pour batter into slightly greased 9x9 baking dish (I used coconut oil to grease the dish). Cover and bake for 50 mins.

Use a small kitchen torch or Broil at 500 for 5 mins until brown on top before serving.

** To re-heat, place in over at 350 degrees for 20 mins then turn oven up to broil at 500 degrees for 5 mins. Or use your small kitchen torch to brown the top.

Caramelized Peaches

Ingredients:
2 medium sized ripe peaches
1 tablespoon butter
1-2 tablespoons Maple Sugar- or other paleo approved sweetener.

Preparation:

Slice up peaches.

Heat a medium saute pan to medium heat. Add butter first and then the peaches.

Stir occasionally to melt butter over peaches and sprinkle maple sugar over top.
Lower heat to med-low and cook till soft, about 15 mins.

Pour peaches over top of cobbler.

Whipped Coconut Milk

1 -2 cans Full Fat Coconut Milk (from the can)

This is the easiest recipe EVER!! All you do is put the cans in the refrigerator for minimum of 5 hours before using. I pretty much always keep a can of coconut milk in my refrigerator for this purpose.

DO NOT SHAKE THE CAN!

Scoop the coconut cream out of the top of the can (about the top 1/3 to 1/2 off the can) You don't want the watery part.

Put into either a mixing bowl attached to a standing mixer or a regular mixing bowl.

For stand up mixer and hand mixer: Mix on high for 3-5 mins.
**Mixing by hand may be a little tricky but just keep whisking till the cream gets light and fluffy.

Put a dollop on top of each serving of blueberry cobbler.

Sorry I don't have more picture of this process, next time I make it I will update this!

Enjoy!!!

I know this may look like a lot of work, but its not, trust me, it's super easy!!!
