Hello lovelies, I’m happy to share a new recipe with you today: Rhubarb berry crumble. I try to eat the tasty rhubarb as much as possible before the season is over and this crumble was so extremely delicious, you will love it. It’s also much faster prepared than a cake and therefore a great opportunity when you spontaneously crave something sweet.

You can combine rhubarb with different berries. This time I used red currants, that I still had in the freezer. I can also very well imagine raspberries or strawberries. It's best to have several berries and rhubarb frozen in stock.

The crumble is made of nuts and oatmeal and doesn’t contain sugar, but is sweetened with maple products only. I have used maple syrup as well as maple sugar and the caramel taste goes so well with the acidity of the berries. By the way, I discovered the very best maple syrup at a trade fair in Zurich. It’s a dark robust from Vermont and you can order this, as well as the maple sugar on the Maple Store in Switzerland (I got my 2nd bottle as a gift, but I like to advertise the store because they directly work together with small producers and I love the syrup so much - no comparison to the supermarket syrup!!).

The crumble got really nice and juicy and has the perfect harmony between sweetness and tartness for me - if it’s too sour for you, then you can add a little more maple syrup, or vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce. Depending on which berries you use, it will always taste a bit different. Of course, strawberries are sweeter than red currants.

By the way, the kids enjoyed the crumble very much and they asked for more. This is also a great and fast snack, because the ingredients are usually all at home and berries and rhubarb can also be frozen well.

I hope you now have the desire to taste this delicious crumble and I’m happy if you give it a try. If you want to make the most of rhubarb season, be sure to check out my rhubarb cake with 1 dough in 2 versions and these rhubarb streusel muffins; and if you love a good crumble, you will also enjoy my apricot crumble with 5 ingredients once the first apricots are ripe.

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: use the butter really cold and knead the streusel only briefly, so it stays nicely crumbly rather than doughy. If the crumble is too tart for you, add a little more maple syrup to the fruit or serve it with vanilla ice cream. A touch of freshly grated tonka bean in the streusel makes the dessert extra special. Frozen berries and rhubarb can go in straight from the freezer; there is no need to thaw them.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • Bake the crumble at 180°C (356°F) for about 30–40 minutes. It is ready when the streusel is golden brown and the berry juices bubble gently around the edges. Serve it warm for the best texture.

  • Peeling is up to you. Young, thin rhubarb can go in unpeeled, while for thicker stalks I like to pull off the tough strings. Just trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into bite-sized pieces.

  • Red currants, raspberries and strawberries all work beautifully, fresh or frozen. Currants are tart and balance the sweet streusel, while strawberries make the crumble milder. A mixed berry blend works too.

  • Yes, frozen berries and frozen rhubarb work well and do not need to be thawed. Since they release more juice, the tablespoon of flour tossed with the fruit helps bind the extra liquid.

  • In this recipe the crumble contains no refined sugar and is sweetened with maple syrup and maple sugar only. You can also use coconut blossom sugar or brown sugar. Adjust the sweetness to suit how tart your berries are.
