The best light and sweet strawberry crumble

If you’re looking for a light and deliciously sweet dessert option that isn’t too rich for guests, then this could be exactly what you’re looking for.

The perfect mix of almond crumble topping with a sweet strawberry filling will impress the whole dinner table – and this particular recipe is incredibly easy too, so it can even be made fresh on the night of your event for a sweeter taste.

It’s best served with a scoop of plain vanilla ice-cream to really compliment the taste, but works perfectly on it’s own too. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 375g strawberries, hulled, halved
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 35g butter
• 2 tablespoons flaked almonds

1. Preheat oven to 220C. Grease a 16cm x 26cm shallow roasting pan. Place strawberries and half the sugar in pan. Toss to coat generously.
