Ingredients
Biscuit Topping
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 3 tbsp pure organic cane sugar, plus 1 Tbsp more for topping
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 6 tbsp vegan butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup vegan buttermilk (3/4 cup almond milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar)
- non-dairy milk to brush on top
Filling
- 7-8 ripe Fuyu persimmons, sliced (I leave the skin on)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- scant 1/2 tsp cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a 9×13 pan, rub some coconut oil on the bottom of the pan.
- Prepare vegan buttermilk by combining the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and place in the fridge while you prepare the cobbler.
- Put the sliced persimmons in the pan. Then add the coconut sugar and cardamom. Stir with a spatula until everything is evenly combined.
- In another large bowl, add the flour, salt, cardamom, sugar, and baking powder. Mix until combined. Add the cubed butter and using a fork, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse sand and is evenly distributed throughout the flour. Pour in the cold vegan buttermilk from the fridge. Stir with a spatula until everything is combined. Careful not to overmix. It will be a wet, sticky dough.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop, scoop topping into 8-10 portions over the persimmon filling. It is fine if there is a little space between the cobbler topping. Lightly brush the cobbler topping with almond milk. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar all over the cobbler topping. (Brushing the tops with milk and adding sugar over it creates the extra crispy tops that we are looking for, so don’t skip this step!)
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until top is golden brown. Let it sit for 20 minutes before serving. Eat warm with ice cream or dairy free yogurt and enjoy! Best when eaten fresh/day of. If you plan on serving it that same day, don’t cover the cobbler because it will make the topping soft. Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter or fridge. The topping won’t be as crisp the next day, but the cobbler will still be delicious. You can warm leftovers up in the microwave.
