Mini Nectarine, Raspberry, and Blackberry Crumbles

(1)
"Mini nectarine, raspberry, and blackberry crumbles have to be one of the cutest desserts I’ve made in a long time. Served warm with vanilla ice cream on top, and this is pure heaven! A great way to use all the gorgeous fruit in season right now and the best part of course is that you get your own."

ingredients

  • For the Fruit:
  • 2 pounds firm, ripe nectarines (6 to 8 nectarines)
  • 2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • For the Crumble:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (aka 1 stick) , diced
  • Optional: vanilla ice cream

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease 8, 5 oz ramekins with baking spray or butter and set aside for later.

  • Step 2

    Slice the nectarines into 1/2 inch thick wedges, and place them in a large bowl.

  • Step 3

    Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss well.

  • Step 4

    Gently mix in the raspberries and blackberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Spoon the berry mixture into the prepared ramekins.

  • Step 6

    Next, to make the crumble, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and the butter in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld mixer).

  • Step 7

    Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it’s in big crumbles, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit.

  • Step 8

    Place the ramekins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly.

  • Step 9

    Serve warm or at room temperature. I serve them warm with vanilla ice cream on top!
