Strawberry Rhubarb Almond Crumble with Almond Cream
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 3 cups (750 mL) fresh or frozen chopped rhubarb
- 2 cups (500 mL) halved fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) packed brown sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) ground almonds
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) large flake oats
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped almonds

Almond Cream
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) almond milk
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla
Crumble:
In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, ground almonds and half of the flour. Divide among eight 1/2 cup (125 mL) ovenproof ramekins or mason jars; set aside.
In another bowl, stir together oats, chopped almonds, remaining flour and margarine until crumbly. Spoon on top of fruit and place jars on a baking sheet.
Bake in 375 F (190 C) oven for about 30 minutes or until fruit is tender and bubbly and top is golden. Let cool slightly.
Almond Cream:
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat almond milk and vanilla over medium heat until just bubbling. Whisk together cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of water and whisk into almond milk. Cook, stirring for 1 minute or until thickened.
Drizzle some of the almond cream over each crumble to serve.
