This strawberry rhubarb crips is the perfect Summer treat and is best when served with creamy ice cream. It's very easy to make and beyond delicious. Imagine a soft and sweet strawberry rhubarb filling topped with buttery pie crust, pecans, and oats. It's a huge crowd pleaser and is often requested by my family as a Summer dessert. By the way, have you tried my strawberry rhubarb pie?

In a large mixing bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice and stir to combine. Set aside until you are done with the topping.

Combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor and pulse a few times until it resembles coarse meal.

If you don't have a food processor, you can prepare the topping with a pastry cutter or two forks instead. In this case mix together flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then add butter and cut it into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal with pea-sized butter flakes.

Then transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with chopped pecans and oats.

Drain the filling and discard all the excess liquid. Transfer the fruits without the liquid to the baking dish.

Expert tips for success

  • Don't overwork the pie crust topping or the topping becomes a paste. The texture of the baked topping is best when it is mixed until it is crumbly.
  • Discard of all the excess liquid when draining the fruits to avoid a watery filling.

Can I bake this in individual ramekins?

Yes, you can make this recipe and bake it in 1-cup (240ml) sized ramekins. The baking time is the same.

Storage

Although it is best eaten on the same day, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Freezing

I don't recommend freezing it because of the fruits. They get mushy and soggy during the freezing and thawing process.

    My family loves this. I’m making it again this week but will substitute Truvia brown sugar blend since I do the WW Program.

    This is the recipe! Using my own skills, (a little more sugar), this is really fine recipe! Sincerely, Terren

    This was a good recipe, however, I wish it were a little sweeter. I sought a recipe that had less sugar than most recipes (most of which call for like...3 cups of sugar!) so I was glad I came across this one. It wasn’t sweet enough for me though. Idk how the author measures her brown sugar for the topping but it only called for “1/4 cup packed brown sugar (100 grams).” When I put 1/4 cup packed brown sugar on my kitchen scale it was only 50 grams. So I contemplated doubling the sugar (to equal 1/2 cup) which would be 100 grams but thought I’d just follow the recipe. Now I wish I had added 100 grams instead of 1/4 cup. Am I reading the recipe wrong? Or doing math wrong? Idk. I will very likely try this recipe again but double the brown sugar for topping.

      It definitely needs just a 1/4 cup of brown sugar for the topping. There was a mistake with the grams though. Correct is 50g. I'd like to mention that we love our fruit crisps less sweet. We love the fresh taste of the fruits and this is why we add less sugar. 3 cups sugar for 5 cups fruit sounds very sweet to me, though that's just my opinion and personal taste. I hope that helps!

    Is the rhubarb raw when you add it to the recipe?
