Blueberry Crisp Ice Cream

What you'll need

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 4-5 Tablespoons sugar (depending on tartness of berries)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp grated lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt

Crisp

  • ½ cup flour
  • 1/3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

The method

Directions

  1. 01

    Adjust rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375ºF.

  2. 02

    Divide the berries between two 12 ounce ramekins. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, zest and salt in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over both ramekins.

  3. 03

    Mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and, using fingers, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until small clumps form. Pinch together any powdery parts, and then sprinkle evenly over both dishes of berries.

  4. 04

    Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes and then serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
