Crumble is one of my children’s favorite desserts (and me too) and I must say that this strawberry and rhubarb crumble recipe was a real hit with everyone! It really didn’t last long. In addition, the rhubarb season is quite short so you have to take advantage of it because it is at its peak at the moment.

For my part, I love crumbles, whether sweet or savory: apple, pear, leek, tomato, apricot… I really like the balance between fruits (or vegetables) and the crunch of the crumble on the top. In addition to that, crumble is a very easy and quick dessert to prepare, you just need to choose seasonal fruits.

For this one, I thought they wouldn’t like the tangy side of rhubarb, but actually not at all! They loved it and I must say that it’s also what I like because I find that it balances very well with the sweetness provided by the strawberries and the softness of the toasted crumble on top.

In any case, the rhubarb and strawberry combo always works very well! In my recipe, you will see that I also added 2 small apples, it is optional but I like the roundness and consistency that it brings to this dessert.

If you like sweet desserts, feel free to add more sugar with the fruit. I tend not to put a lot of sweetness in my desserts and I know that it can sometimes be unpleasant…
