almonds baked cherry Christmas Christmas food cobbler cranberry cream dessert holidays mini pear ramekin recipe sweets whipped

Miniature Cranberry-Pear Cobblers

There are so many fun things you can do with ramekins, you can make little souffles, Crème brûlée, mini pot pies, mini cakes, quiche, etc. There’s so much you can do, and I love to try different experiments with them.

I decided to come up with a Christmas sort of dessert, and what says Christmas more than cranberries, pears, and a hint of cherry flavoring? This was very easy to throw together, many of the ingredients are staples in my pantry, and I served it with some homemade whipped cream to serve on top while it’s still warm. It was a satisfying dessert to finish off our meal, and the tartness of the cranberry combined with the subtle pear taste reminded me a bit of rhubarb. The presentation in the little ramekins is always what gets me, so cute!

PRINT THIS RECIPE

Fruit Ingredients:
  • 2-3 small Bartlett pears, cut and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Cobbler Topping Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavywhipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
  • pinch of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
Whipped Cream Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease or spray each individual ramekin then divide the cranberries and pears up into the 4 dishes.
Fill about halfway up with the fruit.
Add about a tablespoon of cherry filling on top, then sprinkle each dish with the sugar and cinnamon. Divide the 1 teaspoon sugar into each dish (1/4 teaspoon for each), then just a dash of cinnamon on top.
Place the ramekins on a cookie sheet spaced evenly, then bake for 15 minutes.
While the fruit is cooking, combine the first 5 ingredients for the topping until well mixed. Then slowly pour in the whipping cream while mixing. Once the fruit is done cooking, separate the dough into 4, and shape them to fit the top of the ramekins.
Melt about 1 tablespoon butter, and brush it over the dough.
Sprinkle the top with just a bit of sugar.
Sprinkle the top with the chopped almonds, and bake for 20 minutes.
While the cobblers are baking, prepare the whipped cream.
First beat the whipping cream at a high speed until it begins to thicken. Then slowly add the powdered sugar while continuously beating. Finally, add the vanilla, beat until soft peaks form.
Store in the refrigerator until the cobblers are ready to be served.
When the cobblers are done, the sides will be bubbling and the crust will be slightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with a dallop of whipped cream and garnish with mint and fresh cranberries for a pretty Christmas themed presentation.
Enjoy!

      Thank you! I’m not too big a fan of pears, unless they’re cooked. For some reason I’ve never been too into the raw form! Weird!

    these look so fab and good. I don’t have ramekins, though so I might to buy some. I’ve been eyeing a set for a while and this might be the perfect excuse to buy them. thanks Dawn

      Thank you! I purchased these at Raley’s, they were only $1.99 each and I had to get different colored ones. I want to go back and get more, there were 2 other colors to buy too, plus I’d like to get a white set too. I love Ramekins, they’re great for breakfast too! Just throw in some veggies and maybe a little bit of meat and break an egg over it and bake! Sprinkle some cheese halfway through, and they’re so good to serve with a pancake or waffle. My husband says it looks very gourmet! lol

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
