Ingredients (7)
1 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Steps (5)
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, half of the sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the mixed berries.
Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble the crumble: Spoon the ricotta and berry mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the filling.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Additional tips
- Berry Selection: Use a mix of fresh and frozen berries for a balance of textures. If using frozen berries, there’s no need to thaw them before adding to the mixture.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Taste your berries before adding them to the mixture. If they are very tart, you might want to add a bit more sugar to the filling.
- Texture Variation: Add some rolled oats or chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) to the crumble topping for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- To make more: Simply double each ingredient
