Strawberry Shortcake Crumble

This strawberry shortcake crumble might be the easiest recipe on the blog, and if you're a frequent visitor here, you know that easy recipes are hard to come by. My true passion lies in baking recipes that challenge your skills and require careful technique. But I'm not gonna lie - I do love a good quick & simple recipe that just hits the spot. And that's exactly what this recipe is. It takes maybe 15 minutes (and that includes cleanup time!) to throw together, and is just absolutely delicious topped on your favorite vanilla ice cream. So if you were a fan of those Good Humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, you NEED to make this recipe!

Ingredient Notes

• Golden Oreos: I recommend using golden oreo thins for smaller filling to cookie ratio, but you can absolutely use regular golden oreos if you'd like.
• Freeze Dried Strawberries: You'll need about 28g or 1 oz of freeze dried strawberries. This equals about 1 cup, but since freeze dried strawberries come in all different shapes and sizes, they are difficult to measure by volume. If possible, use a kitchen scale to a get an accurate measurement.
• Kosher Salt: Do not skip the salt! It is essential to balancing out the sweetness and amplifying the flavors.
• Unsalted Butter: You'll need about 4 tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor and gives it that classic nostalgic flavor we're looking for.

Step by Step Instructions

5 ingredients, 1 step, infinite deliciousness. 

All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed with gram measurements so you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), you can make these recipes accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale. 

If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.

But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!

Happy baking! x
