Blueberry and Strawberry Granola Streusel Crisp

Incredibly easy to make and even easier to eat.

A berry crisp makes a quick and easy dessert that has a little bit of sweet, a little tart and a lot of crunch.

And when served warm with ice cream on top, the sweet cream from the melted ice cream covers the entire dessert.

Grab a spoon.  It’s so good.

In addition to this dessert being easy to make, and tasting divine, I love that it doesn’t generate a lot of dirty dishes.

The berry filling is mixed together in the same dish that’s used for baking.

Then the berry mixture is topped with streusel which is super easy to make and tastes so good.

Streusel is a crumbly topping for desserts such as cakes, muffins, pies, or ice cream.

The streusel ingredients in this recipe include sliced almonds, brown sugar, butter, salt, flour and an added bonus of granola.

This crisp can be served with or without ice cream.

When served with vanilla ice cream, the tartness of the berries tastes heavenly with the melted ice cream.

This delicious dessert can be made ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator and warmed up in the microwave just before serving…then topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Then, if your butter is soft, add it in the mixture.
