A simple, comforting dessert featuring a tart and sweet strawberry rhubarb filling topped with a buttery, crunchy oat crumble, served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh hulled strawberries
  • 3 cups (400g) rhubarb stalks, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (70g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish, spreading it out evenly in a single layer.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit and pat down lightly without compressing.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. If edges brown too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  8. Let the crumble cool for at least 10 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  9. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Use cold butter to keep the topping flaky and crunchy. Do not skip the cornstarch to avoid a soggy filling. If edges brown too fast, cover with foil. Prepare fruit filling ahead and refrigerate for convenience. Let crumble cool before serving to prevent ice cream from melting too fast.
