Servings

👩‍🍳 When it’s time to serve your Cottage Cheese Crumble, the possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas:

With Ice Cream: Serving the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a match made in dessert heaven. The cold ice cream melting on the warm crumble is pure bliss! 🍨

Topped with Fresh Fruit: Elevate this dessert by adding an extra layer of fresh, sliced berries or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of powdered sugar can also add a nice finishing touch. 🍓

Paired with Soft Cheese: For a unique twist, try serving warm crumble with a side of soft cheese. The creamy texture of the cheese contrasts wonderfully with the crunchy topping. 🧀

Variations

🌱 **For our gluten-free friends**, replace the rice flour with an equal amount of a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

🌿 **For a vegan twist**, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil and replace the sour cream with a vegan alternative like coconut yogurt. For the filling, opt for a tofu or cashew-based cheese and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) instead of a regular egg. Sweeten with maple syrup or agave. 🌟

Faq

  • Can I use a different type of flour?

    Yes, you can use all-purpose flour or any flour blend you prefer. Just keep in mind that the texture might change slightly depending on the type of flour used.

  • Can I make the crumble ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the crumble mixture and the filling separately, then store them in the fridge for up to 2 days before assembling and baking.

  • How do I know when the crumble is done baking?

    Look for a golden-brown color on the top layer of the crumble. If you're unsure, you can insert a toothpick. If it comes out clean, your crumble is ready!

  • Can I add nuts to the topping?

    Of course! Adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts can give an extra crunch and enhance the flavor of the crumble.

  • What's the best way to reheat leftovers?

    You can reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. If you're in a hurry, use the microwave, but it might soften the topping.

  • Can I freeze the crumble?

    Yes, this crumble can be frozen. Just make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing and reheating.
