After a sweet morning at the Sens Chocolate Salon http://atomic-temporary-17826715.wpcomstaging.com/2012/03/18/chocolate-salon-sens-france-2012/, I decided to do something with the fabulous Spanish strawberries I found in the market. We were wondering if you could make a crumble with strawberries. Well, yes you can.
These berries were so sweet! As I was making the crumbles, I just knew M. Parret would want some. I sent over two little pots and didn’t mention Spain.
And here is where “shopping large” really pays off; we had enough strawberries to also make milkshakes 🙂
Strawberry Crumble
1 lb strawberries, cut into chunks
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
3 tbsp + 1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
4 tbsp cold butter
Mix the strawberries with the almonds, sugar and vanilla. Set aside for about 15 minutes, then divide between 6 ramekins. Mix the flour, brown sugar and pecans together. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter (I finally found mine) until it forms a coarse meal, then sprinkle on top of the strawberries. Bake the ramekins on a cookie sheet at 350 F for about 2o minutes. Top with whipped cream if you like.
Strawberry Milkshakes
1/2 lb strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
Combine the strawberries, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Set aside for about 15 minutes, then blend with the ice cream and milk until smooth. Makes two large.
I love that crumble specially with that almond flakes I think that would be hard to resist
It is a nice crunch rs.
I love the combination of strawberries and almonds and haven’t combined them in awhile. Thanks for the reminder.
You are welcome, Greg
Both the crumble and the milkshake look delish! Strawberry Sunday… Just got it;).

woah! this looks unbelievably delish!!!
Thank you Cayla.
The strawberries look so good! And the milkshake is the prettiest pink. I like that you sent M. Parret over some of your crumble too!
I noticed he didn’t complain 😉

Thank you Jess
I would like to dive in like that strawberry.
The strawberries look delicious! I love your photos as always!
Thanks Danny. The strawberries were exceptional.
Yum yum! I may take mine with a side of vanilla ice cream, instead of the shake, but both sound delicious in and of themselves.
Thank you.
Fantastic crumble and photos!
Thank you Villy
Miam !!! Ta recette est excellente et me donne l’eau à la bouche ! Merci
Merci Crevette 🙂
do we bake the ramekins on a cookie sheet at 350’F for about 20 minutes?
Thank you Carol. I don’t know how I skipped that step 🙂
My wife loves crumbles and my daughter loves strawberries, thanks for posting such a delicious recipe to share with them!
Crumble is one of those tempting deserts and strawberry crumble would hit the spot just about now with a milk shake chaser. How lovely that spring starts today and we’l soon be awash in lively fresh fruits! Bookmark this for making soon!
Now this is right up my alley, lovely, pretty spring dessert.
So many gorgeous strawberry dishes in one spot – I adore strawberries 😀
And you have the most stunning photography!
