Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (65 g)
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar (135 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g), cold and diced
  • 2 cups vanilla bean ice cream (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold, diced unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour the berry mixture into a prepared 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the berries.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and berry juices are bubbling. Tent with foil halfway through if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken the juices.
  8. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Notes

Use cold butter to keep the topping crumbly. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour. For vegan, use plant-based butter and dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Thaw and drain frozen berries to avoid soggy filling. Let crisp cool before serving to thicken juices.
