Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

How to Make Berry Crumble with Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, 1/4 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly, then pour them into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the berry layer in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a mix of berries for a more complex flavor profile.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw them beforehand to maintain texture.
  • For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble topping.
  • Allow the crumble to cool for about 10 minutes before serving; this helps the juices thicken slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the mixed berries for stone fruits such as peaches or cherries.
  • Add a splash of almond extract for a different flavor twist.
  • Try using gluten-free flour and oats for a gluten-free version.
  • For a spiced twist, add nutmeg or cardamom to the crumble topping.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence.
  • A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added sweetness.
  • A sprinkle of toasted coconut for texture and flavor.
  • A cup of tea or coffee to complement the dessert.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. The crumble can also be enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge.
