Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs
Report
Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs combine strawberry-flavored Jell-O with flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla to create two types of crumbly components that are baked until lightly crisp. The mixture produces a textured topping or garnish with contrasting strawberry and vanilla notes and a sandy, crumbly consistency. These crumbs add a delicate sweetness and fruity hint suitable for decorating desserts or layering in shortcakes.
Description
The Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs feature two crumble mixtures made separately: one combining strawberry Jell-O, flour, and butter, and another blending flour, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. These mixtures are spread and lightly mixed on a parchment-lined baking sheet before baking at 350°F for 7-8 minutes without stirring. Once cooled, the crumbs can be stored in the refrigerator and stirred before use to break up any sticking. This results in a crumbly topping with subtle fruitiness and vanilla flavor that can be used to enhance the texture and taste of desserts like shortcakes.

Ingredients
- 3 ounces Jell-O strawberry flavored; box
- 1 cup all-purpose flour divided
- 1/2 cup butter cold and divided, unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl using a fork stir Jell-o with 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup butter, until you get a crumble mixture.
- In another medium bowl stir 1/2 cup flour, with 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter, plus 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until you get a crumble mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle on it the strawberry crumbles. Next, sprinkle on the vanilla crumbles, and slightly mix them.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes and do NOT stir.
