Fresh Strawberry Crisp

The best dessert for summer is this Fresh Strawberry Crisp! A buttery and crumbly oat topping goes on top of fresh, juicy strawberries. With a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, this dessert is sure to make you swoon!

My kids are eating me out of house and home because it’s summer. I feel like I live at H-E-B or in their parking spaces for curbside pickup. Does anyone else feel this way?

If I’m not at H-E-B, I’m probably at Sam’s doing the same thing. We go through so many gallons of milk a week now that the baby is drinking regular milk. It’s crazy! My eight-year-old can eat a whole casserole dish full of cereal every morning and still be hungry!

I usually get one of those big containers of strawberries when I go to Sam’s. It’s summer, so the strawberries are nice and sweet, and the price is right, too. My kids will eat any kind of berry, but they mostly like to eat them fresh. This delicious Fresh Strawberry Crisp is the one dessert that you can’t resist in the hot summer months.

Yes, yes. It’s hard not to jump right into the bubbly pan as soon as it comes out of the oven! But letting it cool down a little and adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the best thing ever!

Special thanks goes to my husband who helped me create this Strawberry Crisp recipe after we took the kids berry picking back in May. After a hot day in the fields, we came home with two big baskets of strawberries, blackberries, and two zucchinis. I made zucchini lasagna for dinner and he tinkered around making the filling for the strawberry crisp.

When this came out of the oven, the warm, sweet smell of strawberries filled the room and we totally snuck some out of the pan while the kids were still outside playing. And maybe hid some of it for later, too. Do you hide your favorite foods from your kids, too? If you do, let me share with you an excellent hiding spot; the Instant Pot!!

Really, truly, it’s worked marvelously so far! The only problem is where to put the stuff when I pull the IP out to use. Because my kids are obsessed with stealing my Dove dark chocolates, it’s necessary around here to hide them. And if you don’t already own an Instant Pot, this is just another great reason to get one. You’re welcome.
