When the markets are overflowing with berries, I can’t resist making these delightful Individual Berry Crisps to fully enjoy their sweet, juicy goodness!

Berry crisps are a delightful summer dessert, but the beauty of sweet, fresh berries is that they can be enjoyed all year round. Serve them warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and just wait for the reactions to pour in.

Mixed Berry Crisps

Let’s be honest—making a pie can feel like an uphill battle, especially when it comes to getting the crust just right. I’ve had my fair share of pie crust disasters! While they might taste great, they often aren’t presentable for guests. Fortunately, crisps are wonderfully simple and mostly foolproof. Plus, when served in individual ramekins, they offer a lovely presentation that your guests will appreciate.

Why You Must Make These Crisps!

• Portion control is easy with these mini desserts, though I won’t judge you if you decide to go for a second!
• These treats bring a taste of summer to your table any time you wish.
• The brown sugar crumble topping is a match made in heaven with the natural sweetness of the berries.

An Easy Summer Dessert

Preparing these mini berry crisps is a breeze! All you need is to visit your favorite farmers’ market, grocery store, or local produce stand and grab 4 cups of ripe seasonal berries. I personally enjoy a mouthwatering mix of ripe raspberries, juicy blackberries, and sweet blueberries. Just toss the berries gently with sugar and cornstarch before dividing them among your ramekins.

I particularly love using mini red cocottes from Le Creuset, but if you have 6 or 8-ounce ramekins at home, those will work perfectly. Top the berries with a simple brown sugar-oat topping, pop them in the oven, and you’ll have a scrumptious dessert ready in no time! Just ensure the filling is hot and bubbly to activate the cornstarch and thicken everything beautifully.

How to Serve a Berry Crisp

Serve these crisps warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream for an indulgent experience. If you need to reheat them, just a few seconds in the microwave will do. There’s truly nothing better than delectable melting ice cream or silky whipped cream melting into a warm dessert!

These triple berry crisps are a fantastic way to celebrate summer fruits and will definitely make your taste buds dance with joy!

Ingredients

Berry Filling:

• 4 cups berries (I used fresh blueberries, fresh raspberries, and fresh blackberries)
• ¼ cup sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Topping:

• ½ cup flour
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
2. Gently toss the berries with sugar and cornstarch, then divide them equally among four 8-ounce ramekins.
3. For the topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and butter. With your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, similar to cornmeal. Evenly distribute the topping over the berry mixture in the ramekins.
4. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream.
