Ingredients

For the Mixed Berry Crumble:

– 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

– 1/4 cup granulated sugar

– 1 tablespoon cornstarch

– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/2 cup rolled oats

– 1/2 cup brown sugar

– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

For the White Chocolate Crème Anglaise:

– 1 cup whole milk

– 1/2 cup heavy cream

– 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped

– 4 large egg yolks

– 1/4 cup granulated sugar

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

Mixed Berry Crumble:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.

2. In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

4. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Spread the berry mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top.

6. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.

7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

White Chocolate Crème Anglaise:

1. In a saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.

2. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined.

3. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

5. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate until melted and smooth.

6. Stir in the vanilla extract.

7. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.

8. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
