FAQ
You may have a couple of questions about blackberry crisp – let’s get to those now.
DOES BLACKBERRY CRISP NEED TO BE REFRIGERATED?
Yes, after baking it does need to be refrigerated as it has butter in it.
CAN YOU MAKE BLACKBERRY CRISP AHEAD OF TIME?
Instead of making the whole thing ahead of time, I would recommend making the topping the day before and storing it in the fridge overnight. Then when you’re ready to bake, make the filling in the baking dish and put the topping over it.
HOW DO YOU REHEAT BLACKBERRY CRISP?
While you can reheat it in the microwave, the topping won’t be crunchy. If you want a crunchy topping you’ll need to reheat it in the oven. Turn the oven to 350 degrees F and once it comes to temperature, put the crisp dish in and heat from roughly 10 minutes, until it’s warmed to your liking.
RECIPE TIPS
- You can cut down or even omit the maple syrup in the filling if you have very ripe and sweet blackberries.
- If you don’t have arrowroot powder, you can substitute corn starch in the same amount.
- Try this with other berries too! A combination of blackberry, blueberry, and strawberry would be delicious
