Description

A delicious dessert featuring a sweet and tart strawberry rhubarb filling on a buttery crumble crust, baked into easy-to-serve squares.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
2/3 cup frozen butter, shredded using cheese grater
1 egg
1/8 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
1 1/2 cup rhubarb, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp corn starch
Lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×9 inch brownie pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Step 3: Add the shredded frozen butter and use your hands to mix until all of the butter is coated with the flour mixture.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is clumpy and resembles wet sand.
  6. Step 6: Scoop about two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan. Press down firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to form a sturdy crust.
  7. Step 7: In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest.
  8. Step 8: Pour the strawberry-rhubarb mixture over the crust.
  9. Step 9: Top the filling with the remaining one-third of the crumble mixture and press down lightly.
  10. Step 10: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
  11. Step 11: Remove from the oven and let it cool completely for at least one hour. This step is crucial for the squares to set.
  12. Step 12: Once cooled, remove the slab from the pan and cut into squares to enjoy.

Notes

It is essential to let the squares cool for at least one hour before cutting, as the filling needs this time to set properly and prevent them from falling apart.

For a faster set time, you can cool the squares for 1 hour on the counter and then chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
