Fresh Strawberry Pistachio Crumble
Description
This crumble dessert highlights fresh strawberries sweetened and thickened with sugar and cornstarch, enhanced by lemon zest and vanilla for bright, aromatic notes. A touch of Chambord adds depth with raspberry liquor flavor. The fruit mixture is evenly spread in a baking dish before being topped with a crumble made of flour (or self-rising flour), rolled oats, chopped roasted pistachios, sugar, and cubed butter.
As it bakes, the topping turns golden and crumbly while the filling bubbles, creating a balance between juicy fruit and a nutty, crisp layer. The pistachios bring texture and an earthy contrast to the sweet berries. This dessert suits warm serving and can also be enjoyed after cooling slightly.
The recipe suggests using a dough blending tool or hands to combine topping ingredients until just crumbly but well mixed with butter. Cooling time is emphasized to allow the crumble to set before serving.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 4 pounds strawberries stems removed and halved, ripe
- 1 lemon zested
- 3 tablespoons Chambord (raspberry liquor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Pistachio Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 1 teaspoon baking powder)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cup pistachios chopped, roasted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, mix the strawberries with the following five ingredients. Spread the berries out evenly.
- Using a dough blending tool (or your hands) mix the ingredients for the topping until the butter is well combined, but the mixture is still crumbly.
- Spoon the topping over the fruit. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden.
- Allow plenty of time for the crumble to cool before serving.
