Strawberry crumble with custard cream, a delicious and simple fruit dessert. Made with a shortcrust pastry that crumbles in your hands, no mixing and no resting in the fridge.
A shell of crumbs that encloses a soft filling of custard and juicy fresh strawberries, flavored with sugar, lemon, and cinnamon. A strawberry Crumble, fragrant, creamy inside and slightly crispy outside, poetry. The recipe is super easy, I added a bit of almond flour to the classic shortcrust. Once cleaned, the strawberries are cut and seasoned with sugar and lemon.
I then prepared a classic custard, a few minutes to assemble the dessert and the crumble is ready for the oven. You can serve it at room temperature or cold from the fridge, great for a snack, but also for breakfast or a special dessert. Everyone will love it
