The strawberry and chocolate crumble is a dessert that suits many occasions: from family meals to children’s snacks, from Sunday cake to dessert to bring to a dinner with friends.
Although strawberries are a symbol of spring, the crumble can be made all year round, using frozen strawberries or jam, making it one of the most loved cakes by those looking for “smart” desserts to prepare in advance, perhaps the day before, to have a dessert ready to serve.
One of the reasons why strawberry and chocolate crumble is so loved is its simplicity. It does not require elaborate doughs, and it is also perfect to make with children, who will enjoy “crumbling” the dough with their hands.
