With the sun beginning to show its face again, prepare for the arrival of summer days with this berry nice strawberry and raspberry crumble.
The recipe is courtesy of chef Chris Baber’s debut cookbook Easy. It’s full of quick, simple and mouth-watering recipes that are gloriously stress-free.
“This crumble is a perfect summer dessert,” says Chris. “The recipe comes from one of my best mates and is something we always have round his house after dinner.
“I love the sweet, cakey layer the ground almonds give between the fruit and crumble. Serve it warm with a good dollop of clotted cream.”
