    I love fruit desserts, like pies, tarts, cobblers, crisps, and crumbles. This is one of my favorite quick and easy recipes for celebrating berries in a simple, sweet & delicious baked treat. It embraces all the flavor and texture of berries with the rich addition of a chewy, crispy caramelized crust.

    Ever since I was a kid, boysenberries have held a special place in my heart and my palate. I grew up in Santa Monica, a coastal town in Los Angeles County, not far from the mecca of all things boysenberry - Knott's Berry Farm.

    bowl of fresh boysenberries

    A few years ago, I planted a boysenberry vine in my backyard. I was worried, as it didn't look like it was going to thrive, and then this happened!

    boysenberries

    You've no idea how excited I was to have fresh boysenberries! My first thought was "I have to make a boysenberry pie." But then I realized my young crop might not yield enough ripe berries to make a whole pie. I wanted to create a simple berry-centric dessert that would allow these plump beauties to be the star of the show. I decided to make a crumble topping that enhanced the dessert without competing with the fruit itself. What a delicious decision that was!

    🌱 Tip

    If you use fresh berries, make sure to thoroughly rinse and remove leaves, thorns, or other bits from the berries.

    🥥 How to make coconut whipped topping

    Making your own luscious vegan whipped topping is easier than you might think, using just a few simple ingredients. If you're short on time, there are also several yummy non-dairy options available in stores.

    Ingredient Notes

    • 14 oz canned coconut cream or coconut milk (full fat - refrigerated for at least 8 hrs)
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    Vegan whipped topping.

    Instructions

    While the berry crumbles are cooling, make the whipped topping. Open the can of chilled coconut milk and scoop out the hardened coconut cream into a bowl. Begin whipping the cream with a high speed electric mixer and add powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve as whipped coconut cream will melt if left out at room temperature.

    🌱 FAQ's

    What is the difference between a crumble, crisp, and a cobbler?

    Crumbles, crisps and cobblers are fruit based desserts baked with a topping but no bottom crust. Crumble toppings are made with flour, sugar and butter. Crisps usually include rolled oats. Cobblers have a biscuit topping.

    How to store leftover vegan berry crumble?

    Cover the crumble with food safe plastic wrap or foil and keep refrigerated up to 3 days.

    Can this recipe be prepared with other fruit than berries?

    Absolutely! Simply replace the berries with sliced peaches, apples, nectarines, cherries, or any other juicy soft skinned fruit.
