Individual Blueberry Crumbles
We use frozen blueberries and a homemade crumble topping to make a delicious, easy, dessert. We serve the warm blueberry crumble in individual pie dishes with a choice of vanilla or coconut ice creams for a superb hot/cold contrast. Next time we may double the crumble, but there were not any complaints with this recipe! Originally served as part of: Pasta Primavera and Blueberry Crumbles.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces 1.25 bags of frozen blueberries berries
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon extract vanilla
- 1 recipe crumble
- vanilla and coconut ice cream (Moxley's)
Instructions
We start by preheat ing the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, we combine the frozen blueberries with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla. We stir well with a large spoon.
We divide the blueberry mixture between four 5½ inch diameter pie dishes. Our daughter has been helping herself to the blueberries, but we still have enough to put in a ramekin as well.
We top the blueberries with the crumble. We place the pie dishes and ramekin on a large, rimmed cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes. We want the blueberries bubbling and the topping browned.
We let the pies cool for a few minutes and serve with ice cream.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Grown-up
Heat the oven to 400°F.
