Fruit Crumble With Lemon Mascarpone Cream


Fruit Crumble With Lemon Mascarpone Cream
  • Serves 6
  • Preparation Time 10 to 30 mins
  • Cooking Time 10 to 30 mins
Ingredients
  • 450g/1lb any fruit and berries
  • 15ml/2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 75g/3oz sugar plus 3 tbsp
  • 225g/8oz plain flour
  • 100g/4oz butter
  • pinch salt
  • For the lemon mascarpone
  • 250g/9oz tub mascarpone
  • about 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • grated zest from an unwaxed lemon
Method
  1. Put the fruits into a bowl with the balsamic vinegar and the three tablespoons of sugar, toss over and allow it to marinate.
  2. Put the flour, remaining sugar, butter and salt into a food processor and blitz until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by hand, just run the mixture between your fingers. Don’t work the mixture too much or it will turn into pastry. Preheat the oven to 200C/380F/Gas 5/Fan oven 180C.
  3. Put the fruit into a shallow 1.25 litre / 2½ pint ovenproof dish. Sprinkle the crumb mix over the fruit. Give the dish a bit of a shake and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is evenly golden.
  4. Meanwhile make the lemon mascarpone: mix the mascarpone in a bowl to soften slightly then add icing sugar and lemon zest, have a taste and add extra sugar if you think it needs it. Serve with the crumble.
