Berry Cherry Crisp: Vanilla Ice Cream’s Perfect Match
Is your vanilla ice cream lonely? Hanging out in the freezer waiting to be paired with something spectacular? Introducing a Berry Cherry Crisp.
When this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp featured crisps, cobblers and fruit desserts, I knew I had to participate! There is nothing I like more than a crisp, and the more topping the better. I’ve been known to eat a little of the crisp before it was, well…crispy.
I know. Kinda gross.
Insert shame here.
I had some beautiful blackberries and sweet Rainier cherries calling my name and begging to be thrown into a crisp. Although I do love blackberries and cherries o’ natural, this is a pretty darn good dessert.
Mis en Place
In about 30 minutes, you’ll be ready to sing to the high heavens.
This is the perfect season for berries and stone fruits, so what will you make?

Kitchen Notes:
- I used individual ramekins, but you can use a 1-qt casserole dish for a family style serving.
