Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped (about 500 grams or 1.1 pounds)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (8 grams)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (165 grams), preferably dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90 grams)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85 grams or about 3/4 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar and flour. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir gently until the mixture looks crumbly and moist.
  4. Pour the rhubarb mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread the oat streusel topping evenly over the fruit, pressing lightly to adhere but not compacting it.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. While baking, pour the chilled heavy cream into a chilled bowl. Add vanilla extract and whisk until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  7. Let the crisp cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving warm topped with the fresh whipped cream.

Notes

If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving to prevent a soggy topping. For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with coconut oil. Frozen rhubarb can be used if thawed and drained well.
