Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a perfect summer dessert that’s just right for two! Imagine a scrumptious oat and brown sugar crust, topped with a layer of sweet and sticky raspberries, all finished off with a golden, buttery crumble. It’s easy to make and absolutely delightful.
Ingredients:
-
Berry Mixture:
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen berries (Tip: frozen raspberries or mixed berries make for a juicy layer, but if using frozen, thaw them first. Fresh raspberries, blueberries, or slightly mashed strawberries are also fantastic.)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on how tart your berries are)
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- A squeeze of lemon juice
-
Crumble Layer:
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix: Combine the ingredients for the berry mixture in one bowl. In another bowl, prepare the crumble mixture.
- Bake Part One: Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of two 4-inch ramekins and bake for 5 minutes to set the crust. Leave it in a bit longer if you prefer a firmer base.
- Bake Part Two: Top the crust with the berry mixture, then sprinkle the remaining crumble on top. Bake for another 7-10 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the crumble is beautifully golden.
- Enjoy: Let it cool for about ten minutes. If you can’t wait, that’s totally understandable—just grab a fork and enjoy the juicy, buttery goodness!
This raspberry crumble is not only a treat to your taste buds but also a breeze to make. It’s perfect for a cozy dessert for two, though it’s so good there might not be any leftovers!
