Equipment
- Medium-Sized Saucepan
Ingredients
Mango Filling
- 1 ½ lbs chopped frozen mango, thawed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Cookie Crust
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, fluffed, spooned and leveled
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Mango Filling
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped mango with the sugar, corn starch, spices, vanilla, and butter.
- Over medium heat, cook the mango filling, stirring frequently. Once it starts to bubble and thicken, cook for several more minutes, stirring constantly until the juice has thickened into a syrupy consistency.
- Remove from the heat and let cool while you make the cookie dough.
Cookie Crust
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, corn starch, baking powder, salt and cardamom until well combined.
- Add the egg, vanilla and melted butter, and stir into a soft dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 9 equal portions (the dough will still be fairly soft). Roll each portion into a ball, then coat the dough balls in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
- Use the bottom of a glass or just the palm of your hand to flatten each dough ball, and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a little more sugar.
Assemble and Bake
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Spread the mango filling into the baking dish, then arrange the cookies over the mango.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling, and the cookies are crisp on top, with light golden browning around the edges.
- Let cool for 20 minutes, then enjoy warm or at room temperature. If you like, sprinkle the baked cobbler with a little cinnamon sugar before serving. This dessert is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
Store leftover cobbler at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
If you use fresh mango instead of frozen, you should peel and pit the mangoes first, then weigh out 1 1/2 lbs.
