Topping ideas to pair with your crumble recipes

A good crumble gets even better with the right topping. Here are few classic – and not so classic – ways to serve any of the crumble dessert recipes you’ll find in this collection.

• Skyr or Greek yoghurt: thick, tangy, and refreshing, these cultured dairy favourites cut through rich fillings and add a welcome contrast to warm crumble desserts.

• Whipped cream: light, airy, and subtly sweet, whipped cream adds softness without overpowering the fruit. Add vanilla, lemon zest, or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavour.

• Ice cream: the ultimate hot-and-cold combo. Vanilla is a favourite, but caramel, chocolate chip, or berry-swirl ice cream can pair just as beautifully.

• Vanilla custard: especially good with apple, rhubarb, or berry desserts with a crumble topping.

• Crème fraiche: great for sweeter, jammier fillings like plum or peach. Add a drizzle of honey or dusting of brown sugar for an easy upgrade.

• Coconut cream: adds a soft tropical flavour, perfect for mango, pineapple, or berry crumble dessert recipes.
