Choose Ripe Berries: The quality of your fruit will greatly influence the taste of your crumble. Use ripe but firm berries for the best flavor and texture.
Add a Thickener: To avoid a soggy crumble, use a thickening agent like cornstarch or flour in your fruit mixture. This will help absorb some of the juices released by the berries when they bake.
Chill Your Topping: To achieve a perfectly crispy and crunchy crumble, chill your topping before sprinkling it over the fruit. This will help it hold its shape as it bakes.
Don’t Over Mix: When preparing the crumble topping, mix until you have a chunky, crumbly texture. Over-mixing will lead to a more cohesive dough, which won't give you the desired crumbly finish.
Serve Warm or Cold: Strawberry Blueberry Crumble can be enjoyed both warm and cold. If serving warm, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. If serving cold, a dollop of whipped cream pairs wonderfully.
Store Correctly: Store any leftover crumble in the fridge, covered, for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat individual portions in the oven or microwave when ready to enjoy again.
