Strawberry Crumb Bars Recipe - Quick & Easy Dessert
If you have a lot of summer fruits and don't know what to do with them or you want to make a fast and easy brunch, I think you should make this crumble. This recipe is way easier than you think. You can use all kinds of fruits in it but I personally prefer berries. The combination of blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry is incredible.

Cook Detail
Tips and tricks
- If your crumble dough isn't sticky enough, you can add one teaspoon of water to it.
- The amount of cornflour you use is depended on your fruit type. If the fruit slices created too much moisture when you mixed them with sugar, you can add one more spoon of cornflour to it.
- You can slice the cold butter into little cubes and blend them with other ingredients in a blender, but to my experience, it is really better and faster when you grate them. Make sure that the butter is really cold and hard when you are grating it.
- Pay attention to the last pictures. You need to press the dough between your fingers well then place them on top of the strawberries.
Background & History
The best thing you can have your crumble with is vanilla ice cream. I didn't have vanilla ice cream so I used raspberry instead. This dessert looks fancy and only takes one hour to be made.
