Hello Dolly Parton! Not only do I love Dolly as a person but she has been making some waves wit her Dolly Parton Fruit Cocktail Cobbler recipe lately. Dolly Parton is not just a country music icon; she’s also known for her down-to-earth charm and love for classic Southern cooking. One of her beloved recipes that captures the essence of Southern hospitality is her Fruit Cocktail Cobbler. This dessert is a nostalgic favorite that combines simplicity with delightful flavors, making it perfect for any gathering or a cozy night at home.
This tasty treat is a nod to Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa from Steel Magnolias and her character Truvy!
“Steel Magnolias,” a beloved Southern classic, weaves together humor, heartache, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. At the heart of this poignant tale is Truvy Jones, the vivacious and warm-hearted owner of Truvy’s Beauty Spot. Portrayed with charm and wit, Truvy is the glue that holds the group of strong-willed women together. Her beauty salon serves as a sanctuary where laughter flows as freely as tears, and no topic is off-limits. Through Truvy’s nurturing spirit and unwavering support, “Steel Magnolias” explores the resilience and strength of women, highlighting how they navigate life’s joys and sorrows with grace, humor, and an indomitable sense of community.
The recipe was adapted from Dolly Parton’s cookbook and boy is it good- the kids will love it! I used to LOVE fruit cocktail when I was younger and this dessert is definitely a keeper and boy so easy!
