Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) rhubarb, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) white sugar
- 1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (125 grams) flour
- 8 tablespoons (113 grams) butter, cubed
Spice and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine chopped rhubarb with aromatic spices and binding agents in a mixing bowl, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the sweet and fragrant mixture.
- Create a crumbly topping by delicately working cold butter into a blend of dry ingredients, using fingertips to form a textured, sandy consistency.
- Transfer the seasoned rhubarb into a ceramic baking vessel, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Generously scatter the prepared crumble mixture over the fruit, covering the entire surface with a rustic, uneven layer.
- Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C), allowing the dessert to transform for approximately 40 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the fruit beneath bubbles enticingly.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble rest for half an hour, allowing the intense flavors to settle and the texture to stabilize.
- Serve while still pleasantly warm, accompanied by a luxurious dollop of fresh cream or a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Ensure rhubarb is fresh and firm, with vibrant red or pink stalks for the best flavor and texture.
- Add a handful of strawberries or raspberries to the rhubarb mix for a more complex, sweet-tart profile.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend in both filling and topping.
- Experiment with spices like ginger or cinnamon to enhance the crumble’s warmth and depth of flavor.
