Blueberry Crisp
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Finally the
weather has changed and summer temperatures are here! With warm weather comes a
different variety of recipes I have been meaning to test out. In the warmer weather I find that my appetite
dwindles and I crave cooler meals such as salads and chilled soups. I also do
like a good BBQ though but i like to focus on the side dishes and desserts the
most! Bean salads, pasta salads, corn on the cob, trifles, grilled vegetables,
ahh the list goes on, so many delicious options. My first summer dessert recipe this year are individual blueberry crisps! For the fall
season I am an apple crisp fan but in the summer I like to use a lot of berries
and peaches in dessert recipes.
This
blueberry crisp is very easy to make and you can whip it up within 15 minutes
so you’re not slaving in a hot kitchen trying to impress your guests. It’s a great portion size too since you’re
using a ramekin. What makes this crisp
extra special is the addition of white chocolate chips! You can omit this
though if you’d like but it really does add some nice flavor to the crisp.
This is a great crisp recipe to have around and you can change up the fruit to
just about anything, ,mixed berries, peach, rhubarb, etc. Play around with this one and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteYay summer!!!! I love crisps too, and blueberry is one of my faves. Great idea to add the white chips!
ReplyDeleteMmm...this looks soo yummy! There was rhubarb in the store the other day so I made a crisp with that and apples but the fruit was too moist and it was kinda mushy. I will take your cornstarch approach next time I think :)
ReplyDeleteHurray for berry season! This crisp looks so wonderful. I adore blueberries and the addition of white chocolate chips is brilliant.

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful dessert to enjoy in the berry season. :) Can't wait to make it. I agree, when temperatures get higher, I tend to prepare more chilled soup and pasta salad too. That's more soothing than anything else. Thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe.

ReplyDeleteAnything with fruits and crumble makes a good dessert or breakfast for me. Yours with white chocolate sounds very yummy!
