Steps to Make the Strawberry Dessert: Strawberry Crumble Squares
First, line the 8-inch square pan with wet and squeezed parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Wash and cut the strawberries into pieces not too small.
In the food processor bowl, pour the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt and blend.
Add the egg beaten with a fork and the cold butter from the fridge, cut into cubes, and operate the machine until a homogeneous but crumbly mixture is obtained.
Pour half of the dough into the cake pan and level the surface.
Add the 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch to the strawberries and mix, then pour them into the cake pan.
Cover with the remaining dough, spreading it with your hands without pressing it.
Sprinkle the surface with chocolate chips.
Bake the strawberry dessert in the oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the cake’s surface begins to turn golden brown.
Baking times are indicative, so adjust according to your oven.
Once baked, let the strawberry crumble cool completely in the pan, then serve it cut into squares, diamonds, or rectangles.
