Exact Ingredients List
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need to make Trisha Yearwood’s delicious peach cobbler and whipped cream topping. The ingredients are simple and easy to find at most grocery stores.
Cobbler
For the cobbler, you’ll need:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) of sliced peaches in syrup
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
Make sure to drain one can of peaches and keep the syrup from the other. The syrup adds sweetness and moisture to the cobbler batter.
Whipped Cream
For the homemade whipped cream, gather:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
Chilling the cream beforehand helps it whip up faster and creates a fluffier texture. You can adjust the sugar to your taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet topping.
Instructions
Let’s walk through how to make this delicious peach cobbler and whipped cream topping. You’ll love how easy it is to put together!
Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Drain one can of peaches and keep the syrup from the other.
Pour melted butter into a 9×12-inch baking dish. Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Add milk and syrup, then stir until combined.
Pour this batter into the dish with the butter. Add peaches on top. Arrange them how you like.
Bake for 1 hour. It’s done when the batter puffs up around the peaches and forms a golden crust. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
Whipped Cream
Chill a large metal bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 20 minutes. This helps the cream whip up better.
Pour cold cream and sugar into the chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high for about 5 minutes.
You’ll know it’s ready when it forms soft peaks. This means it holds its shape when you lift the beater. Be careful not to over-mix or you’ll end up with butter!

Tips, Tricks & Storing
Use fresh peaches when they’re in season for the best flavor. If using canned peaches, drain one can completely and keep the syrup from the other for extra moisture.
Don’t overmix the batter. A few small lumps are okay and will help create a tender cobbler.
For a crispier top, sprinkle a little sugar over the batter before baking.
Let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly.
Store leftover cobbler covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days.
To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. For a whole cobbler, heat in a 300°F oven for about 20 minutes.
Freeze cooled cobbler for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
