I love desserts, like a lot. These triple berry bars rank up there with one of my favorite desserts, especially during the summer time. What I truly like about this dessert is its simplicity. The recipe uses a crust that doubles as the crumb topping. The filling is simple too. Fresh berries are tossed together with lemon juice, zest and sugar. This creates a mixture, that once baked, gets jammy and delicious. It’s seriously so good.
Here’s what you need to know…
In this recipe, I used a variety of berries (blueberries, raspberries and blackberries). You can use all blueberries if you prefer. I like using the berries, because once baked, they get soft and jammy. The lemon juice combined with the berries allows the mixture to get more of the jammy texture.
The crumble topping is simple to make. Simply stir together the ingredients until the mixture is crumbly in texture. Make sure you reserve some crumble mixture to sprinkle over top of the bars. I like to us 3/4 of the mixture for the crust and 1/4 for the top. Press the mixture evenly into an 8×8 pan with your hand, then add the berry filling and remaining crumble mixture.
All that’s left to do is bake in the oven for roughly 40 minutes. Make sure you allow the bars to fully cool before slicing as they will be soft. That’s it! This recipe is honestly very simple to make.
