Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Cherry Rhubarb Crumble- Delicious no fuss dessert!! 

Crumble is usually a clash of textures and tastes.The combination of crispy and juicy.

The warm, right out of oven crumble served with vanilla ice cream! Ah thats homemade dessert heaven!

I can tell you I felt like a little child licking the bowl clean when I was done with this Cherry Rhubarb Crumble.

There is something so comforting about eating a crumble.It has everything -the tartness from the fruits - cherry & rhubarb in this case,crispness from the crumble and creaminess from the ice-cream or whipped cream.It's infact ,the perfect no fuss dessert at the end of a hearty dinner.I usually serve the crumble warm with a dollop of ice cream which adds another dimension to this already amazing dish.

I love making it in my kitchen because this doesn't need any special knowledge or skill.It's a such a simple yet deeply rewarding dessert which I make so so often.

Crumble is the most perfect no fuss dessert

How to make Cherry Rhubarb Crumble

Step 1:Preheat the oven to 375 F or 180 C for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile.

Pit the cherries. Cut the Rhubarb into small bite size pieces.About ¼ inch long.

In a large bowl,mix the fruit with sugar and flour.Let it rest for a bit.This will release the juices.Set this aside till you make the crumble mix.

Step 2: In another bowl, mix toghether flour,oats,sugar and melted butter.This will make for the most crispy layer on top!

Step 4: Tip the fruits into your baking pan.Add the crumble in an eve layer on top.Make sure it's not too thick.

Step 5: Baking- Bake it at 180 C or 375 F for 30 minutes till the topping is golden brown.

You should see cooked fruit peeking and bubbling from beneath.Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before eating.

Resting will further crisp up the crumble.

Easy way to pit cherries

Easiest way to pit cherries is if you have a cherry pitter.

The other way is to use a straw.I usually use a steel straw.

To Serve the Rhubarb Cherry Crumble

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The crumble tastes best 10-15 minutes after baking.If you store it in the refrigerator, there is a chance it could soften up.In that case, a quick microwave before serving should work.

For our health concious eaters, serve this with some creamy greek yogurt.

Variations of a Crumble

I have used fresh cherries & Rhubarb for this crumble but you can really use any other stone fruit or berries in the same quantity.

The tartness from the stone fruits transforms into a deep sweetness when baked and oozes such a beautiful full-bodied Burgundy sauce which is so characteristic with these beautiful seasonal fruits.

Here are some other fruit pairings that work well with the same recipe

  • Strawberries and cherries
  • Blueberries and Strawberries
  • Cherries & Plums
  • Apricots
  • Apples
