Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Recipe With Whipped Cream

Last Updated on April 15, 2022 by Ellen Christian

You are going to love this strawberry rhubarb crumble recipe! I absolutely love strawberries and cook with them frequently.  I’ve tried to grow them several times in our gardens but there is just something about our property that strawberries do not like.  I console myself by going strawberry picking at a local strawberry patch every year and then freeze batches of them so I have them available to me year round.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Recipe

This recipe is similar to the Cooks Illustrated strawberry rhubarb crumble recipe that my mom made years ago. I think my version is a little bit less sweet than the one she makes. 

If you love strawberries, why not try this berry dessert recipe for an easy strawberry galette.

So, if you’re seeing the word crumble and wondering what the heck that is, let me explain. Crumbles, crisps, and cobblers are all baked fruit desserts with toppings. A cobbler typically has a biscuit type topping. A crisp generally has a topping of oats, sugar, and fat. And, a crumble usually has the same type of topping as a crisp but without the oats.

Now, if you notice, my crumble has oats. If you want to make a strawberry rhubarb crisp without oats, you can leave them out and add a bit more flour.

When I came across a recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble in The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook, I knew I wanted to try it.  This recipe has been reprinted with permission.

Healthy spring dessert

To make this strawberry rhubarb crumble recipe healthy, you can reduce the amount of sugar you add. One of the reasons I prefer crisps or crumbles over pie is that there is no bottom crust.

Making Real Whipped Cream for Desserts and Drinks

Topping for strawberry rhubarb crumble

Now, I prefer homemade whipped cream on my strawberry rhubarb crumble recipe. But, if you’re like my father, nothing is better than a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top when it’s warm. Making real whipped cream is super easy and so much better than frozen.

Now, you’ll notice that this recipe uses balsamic vinegar. Please, don’t leave it out. The addition gives it such an amazing taste. 

This is absolutely delicious and one of my favorite spring recipes. And, my crumble recipe is quick and easy to make and can be made with either fresh or frozen fruit.  This is a great way to use up berries that might be getting a little bit too soft to eat fresh.  I grew up eating crumbles and crisps and this crumble recipe really brings back memories.
