Here’s a simple recipe for a berry-filled dessert that’s easy to make and sure to impress.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour the berry mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the berries.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes:

• For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

What To Serve With It

When you’re serving berry-filled desserts, you’ll want pairings that complement their sweet-tart flavors without stealing the spotlight.

My go-to pairing suggestions? A scoop of vanilla ice cream melts perfectly over warm berry cobbler, while whipped cream adds lightness to pies.

For dessert accompaniments, try a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for crunch. A cup of herbal tea or sparkling lemonade balances the richness.

Once, I served berry shortcake with mint—simple but unforgettable!
