Finish your weekend dinner party on a high with Georgina Esdaile's scrumptious blackberry and stone fruit coconut cobbler.

1.2kg mixed ripe stone fruit, (we used plums and apricots), cut into wedges
3/4 cup (165g) caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 tbs cornflour
250g fresh blackberries

Cobbler topping

2 1/2 cups (375g) plain flour
2/3 cup (60g) desiccated coconut
3 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar
240g cold unsalted butter, cut into 1cm cubes
1 1/3 cups (330ml) coconut cream, plus extra to brush and serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place stone fruit, sugar, vanilla and cornflour in a large bowl and toss to combine. Divide between 3 x 2 1/2 cup-capacity ovenproof baking dishes and top with blackberries. (Alternatively, you can cook in one large 3L-capacity baking dish.) Bake for 25-30 minutes until fruit has softened.
2.

For the cobbler topping, combine flour, coconut, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Add butter and use your fingertips to rub into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.
3.

Add coconut cream and use a butter knife to stir to combine. Turn out onto a floured surface and press to 2cm-thick. Use a 5.5cm round cutter, or a glass, to cut out rounds. Bring dough together again and cut more circles until you’ve used up the dough. Arrange on top of the fruit, brush with a little extra coconut cream and bake for 40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve warm, drizzled with extra coconut cream.
