McCartys Gallery Restaurant Chocolate Cobbler has a buttery, tender crust and a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate sauce. This is a simple layered dessert that’s easy as 1 2 3.
First of all, if you’re not from the area you may be wondering who is McCarty. McCarty, as in McCarty Pottery is handmade pottery started in the 1950s by Lee and Pup McCarty. A native of Merigold, MS located in the Mississippi delta, Lee and Pup returned to his hometown after becoming a freelance artist to spin pottery.
As well, I had the honor of talking with Mr. & Mrs. McCarty several times on pottery buying trips to Merigold. They both were very interesting people. Read more about their pottery here, McCarty Pottery.

I’ll admit, I like to drive 2 hours to Merigold is to purchase a new piece of pottery or two from McCarty Pottery. The other reason is for the Gallery’s famous chocolate cobbler! (The Gallery is the McCarty restaurant near the pottery store.)
I tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to duplicate the cobbler recipe before finally getting it right. Honestly, I was trying to make it too difficult. Actually, it’s a very simple recipe to make. Finally, I used the layered technique that I use in my other cobblers. It is perfection.
As well, all the ingredients are simple and you more-than-likely have on hand. Because of this, my McCarty’s Gallery Restaurant Chocolate Cobbler makes a great dessert. It’s easy to make for unexpected guests. Finally, when you’re craving a dessert but don’t want to go to the store you can make this in just minutes.
Tips
Flour, sugar, milk, vanilla,
- First of all, This recipe really is as simple as layering everything in the pan. Don’t overthink it.
- Additionally, you can use
all-purpose flour . The substitution amounts for self-rising flour toall-purpose flour is in the post, Peach Pecan Cobbler. - As well, I do not recommend using margarine or substitute
butter . Use realbutter . - Finally, I do not recommend reducing the amount of sugar. The sugar,
butter , cocoa, and water cook together to make the sauce.

Thank you. This caught my eye because of the location. I lived in Greenwood, MS for almost eight years and loved exploring the Delta.

I don’t usually like chocolate cobblers, but I was having company and had all of these ingredients, so with the help of my 16 month old granddaughter, we decided to try it out. This was the best I’ve ever had and it was so easy and quick to make. It was a huge hit with everyone! I will definitely be making this again.
Thank you!! I could eat the entire cobbler myself, happy you guys liked it.
Craving something sweet with stuff I have on hand…I have a feeling this is gonna taste a lot like Cocoa Gravy and biscuits!! Which I have made before when craving chocolate but none is in the house lol
