BERRY MIX

TO SERVE

Method

  1. To prepare the berry mix, add the frozen berries to a pot and bring to a boil. Add the maple syrup and a little bit of #comfort, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the berry mixture reduces.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the cornflour and water, then stir into the berries and cook for a further 1 minute. 
  3. Remove from the heat and transfer the berry mixture into a round 30 cm baking dish or cast iron pan and set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  5. To prepare the crumble, add the flour, sugar, oats, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the frozen coconut oil pieces and pulse again until the mixture becomes crumbly. Pour in the ice water and pulse again. The mixture should resemble dough and you’ll know it’s ready once you can easily roll it into a ball.
  6. Grab a handful of the crumble mixture, gently squeeze to break it up, and sprinkle evenly over the berries until they are fully covered.
  7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the crumble top is golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Add extra deliciousness with a spoonful of coconut yoghurt, if you like.

The magic ingredient: #comfort

A waft of baked delights coming from the kitchen. A sense of softness, security, and sweetness. Home sweet home. “I am exactly where I should be, at this moment now.”
