Servings

Serving Suggestions and Ideas ✨ Transform your Plum Crumble into a full experience! Serve it warm straight out of the oven 🍽️, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍦 melting into the crumbly topping for that perfect contrast of hot and cold. It's a heavenly combination you won't want to miss! **Looking for a more indulgent option?** Drizzle some warm caramel sauce over your serving. The rich, buttery texture of the caramel pairs wonderfully with the tartness of the plums and the sweet crunch of the oats. If you prefer a lighter option, a dollop of freshly whipped cream will add a touch of elegance without overwhelming the flavors. Or go for a healthier alternative by topping your crumble with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon. **Hosting a brunch?** Impress your guests with individual portions served in ramekins, each accompanied by a hot cup of coffee or tea. The presentation is both charming and sophisticated, making it a memorable dish for any occasion. 🍵
