Raspberry Peach Cobblers in Mason Jars! This post is sponsored by The National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association, also known as NFRA. See EasyHomeMeals.com for more recipes & tips.
I’m in a stage in my life where I need desserts in my purse.
I’m not entirely sure what this says about me, but in the past week, I have eaten a ‘purse dessert’ in the park after a picnic with my Camille, in line at the library, and in the backseat of my car while my realtor shows my house to a potential buyer. (It helps ease the anxiety associated with strangers in my house that might not take their shoes off before entering).
I have big plans to expand my purse dessert-eating pursuits, and I started with these mini cobblers in mason jars. Let them cool slightly before packing, of course.
Always keep a box of disposal forks in your car. The single greatest thing about having a kid is a diaper bag packed full of anything and everything you might need, including silverware. Okay okay, there are other great things about having kids, I promise. But they’re escaping me now…
Portable desserts might be my new favorite way to get through life. And if you share your portable desserts, beware that you will make loads of new friends. I mean, if I saw a lady in public pull a dessert out of her purse and start eating it, I would try to strike up a conversation with such a wise woman, wouldn’t you? You just know that someone has life figured out when they plan ahead and bring dessert everywhere.
This cobbler recipe serves two, even though I’ve divided it into 4 mason jars. Each mini mason jar holds about 3 bites of dessert. That’s just not enough for me, man. I’ve got bigger needs than that. Raspberry peach cobbler in mason jar needs, you know.
However, if you don’t need cobbler portability, you can absolutely make this recipe in a small 1-quart baking dish, like the one I used for my chocolate cobbler. Just dot the biscuit mixture on top of the fruit and you’re set.
You’ll be happy to know that I used almondmilk to make the biscuit topping for the cobbler here. I’m a big fan of almondmilk these days, because it’s light, slightly sweet and super creamy. Oh, the versatility of almondmilk! I used Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla to make the biscuit dough, and to brush on top before baking for a nice golden brown crust. Plus, almonds and stone fruit go together like a mom and a well-packed diaper bag.
So, tell me: what other desserts have purse potential? And don’t say cookies, because if you’ve never cleaned a crumbled cookie out of the bottom of your purse or diaper bag, you’re lucky. I’m thinking a small batch of rice crispy treats cut into sticks next…

hmmm, I'm thinking cheesecake and tiramisu and banana pudding would be cutie pie mini purse desserts. But I guess you'd have to know they were there (duh) and eat them shortly after leaving the house (not hard). I picked up the greatest serving triple chocolate mousse cake with thick chocolate ganche from a bakery last weekend to take on a picnic supper by the lake. That would also be tremendous! Lemonade icebox pie?

What can't a mason jar do? What about a mason jar cake to go? With frosting of course. Or maybe mini trifles? The rice krispy treats sounds perfect, any snack that can be eating faster because its in stick form is good in my book. Hello chocolate covered pretzel rods. :-) I have often wanted to try it with brownies, but don't think it would pass the purse test. I think that should be the focus of your next book. Purse dessert, what every modern day woman should always have on hand.

I've made mason jar trifle (https://www.thebasilandcinnamonsagas.com/home/red-white-and-blue-mason-jar-trifle) and I just have to say....they have serious purse dessert potential :) Especially if you make them in those mini-mason jars pictured in this post! Mason jars = so very portable = perfect dessert transport!
PS: On the same line as cookies, I would not suggest brownies as purse desserts. Especially not brownies with toasted coconut on top. I made that mistake three months ago, and I'm still shaking coconut and chocolate out of my bag every time I reach for my wallet. I don't know how it's possible, I've cleaned it like three different times, and yet--can I interest you in aged choco-coconut crumble, random stranger in line at the grocery store? Yeah, didn't think so.

Awesome recipe thanks, If you find yourself using a lot of almond milk, you should try msking your own all you need is almonds, water, high speed blender and a nut milk bag, youbwill be blown away at the difference and no fillers.
Heather Bryant says
I may have to try this since I'm lactose intolerant and also afraid of buying lactose free milks because of trying them about 14 years ago and going YUCK!! This will get me to definitely try it again and hopefully cut some milk out of my diet because yeah it's a pain (literally).
Christina Lane says
Oh, Heather, you must! Nut milks have significantly improved! I actually prefer them now! :)
