Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two

By 85 Comments

This Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is divine, especially topped with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Who doesn’t love a seasonal, fruity dessert that’s ready in under an hour?

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is a great treat for the season!

I was inspired to make this dessert after a visit with a high school friend a few years ago. It was so fun to catch up on the patio of a good restaurant on a beautiful day, sharing memories, a bunch of laughs, and of course, dessert!

One of the desserts we shared at lunch the other day was a rhubarb crumble.

When we walked into the restaurant we saw the kitchen staff chopping a bunch of rhubarb, so it must have been in the back of my mind for a few days.

Perfect for date night -- or any night -- Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is quite a seasonal treat!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is easy to put together and it makes a great dessert for just a couple of folks. If you’d like, you can easily double this recipe. I probably should have done just that, because I wanted more!

When I was little, our wonderful neighbor, Mrs. Sutton, grew rhubarb in her backyard garden.

I remember how amazed I was by its enormous green leaves (they’re poisonous, so no eating the leaves) and the pretty crimson stalks, all the while dreaming of the glorious pie she would make with that rhubarb!  

Scoop it up while it's warm! Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two will be gone before you know it!

If you love rhubarb you should try a few of my other rhubarb recipes, like Strawberry-Rhubarb Almond Streusel Muffins (who can resist that streusel) or Cherry-Rhubarb and White Chocolate Bread Pudding — mmm — one of my recent favorites! 

Since I have mini cast iron skillets, I knew this smaller batch dessert would be a ideal option. It was so easy to put together, and in all honesty, it turned into my lunch the day I made it!

Dig in to Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two while it's warm!

The tart rhubarb isn’t quite so tart when you mix it with fresh strawberries, sugar, a touch of lemon juice, and then top it with a sweet, crispy crumble.

I can’t wait to make this dessert again. It has springtime — and good memories — written all over it!

You'll love this seasonal treat: Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is perfect when there are only a few for dinner!

I topped my crumble with vanilla ice cream, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dessert. You should definitely try Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two this season.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble for Two is a fun treat for the season!

    Strawberry & Rhubarb are my two favorite Spring flavors--I crave this combo each and every year. In a crumble like this (yum!), in a trifle, a pie, a cake, or just a simple jam--I have to have it. This looks super easy and super delicious!

    These mini cast iron dishes are the cutest - I have to get some. I used to make rhubarb crumble all the time growing up (our neighbour used to grow it too :) ), but I haven't had it in so long! This sounds beautiful combined with the strawberries - I will have to give it a try!

      Thanks, Donna! Yes, you should! It's so weird that I haven't really had rhubarb since I was little -- it's so good!

    I love, love, love rhubarb crumble. My mom used to grow rhubarb and I looked forward to crumbles and pies every summer. The large leaves served as a shelter for a bird's nest that fell out of our pear tree as well. Such a great plant. :)

    Typically my husband is not the biggest dessert guy. But treats like your strawberry rhubarb crumble totally entice him. Now I just have to decide if I'm willing to share!

    We are picking our first batch of rhubarb tomorrow and I had no idea what to make with it till i saw your recipe :) I dont have mini skillets, but i do have two 6" pie plates, would they work ok?

    • Patricia says

      Hi Dc - Hmmm... the cast iron skillets are about 3.5 inches each, so I think a 6" pie plate would work. You might have a bit extra filling. Let me know if you try this and if it works!

        Ok..you may want to change the recipe directions as you listed the mini skillets as 6 inches..Thats why i thought i could use 2 pie plates but the smaller size will make one pie plate, the extra filling will fit Im pretty sure but I will let you know how it turned out. A perfecttreat for my hubby , thanks for the quick reply!
