Awhile back I asked you on Facebook what recipes you’d like to see coming up. I kept seeing “dessert for two”, so that got my wheels turning. What haven’t I made yet you’d enjoy for summer? With Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer next week (!!!), it’s only fitting to start sharing some berry recipes. Everyone seems to love fresh fruit desserts in the summer, whether it’s peach cobbler or strawberry ice cream.

As I was going through my recipe list, I realized I didn’t have many raspberry recipes. Then it hit me – fruit crisp! I’ve made plenty of cobblers, dumplings, and even a crumble, but only one crisp. Plenty of apples, peaches, and strawberries, but hardly any raspberries. And that’s how my Raspberry Almond Crisp For Two was born with a sweet and slightly tart raspberry filling topped with a crispy almond streusel baked in two ramekins. Topped with ice cream, they are the ideal sweet treat to end your meal.

The difference between a crisp and crumble is the oats. Think of the oats giving the topping a crispy texture, hence the name crisp. I also added almonds for extra crunch. To bring out the almond flavor even more, I added almond extract to complement the raspberries.


ALDI product comparison

As fun as baking is, it’s no secret it can be a bit pricey with the ingredients – butter, flour, sugar, eggs, the list goes on. That’s why I shop at ALDI because their low prices make baking more affordable; they believe you should never have to over-spend to enjoy quality food. Take these raspberry crisps for example. Buying the ingredients at Walmart with their private label brand came to $32.99. Buying the same ingredients at ALDI came to $29.19. Buying national brands would make the savings difference even more. Considering this is for one recipe, imagine all of the desserts you could bake with the above ingredients and the savings for an entire week of groceries.

It’s a little hard to compare apples to apples (err raspberries to raspberries?) because some products were different sizes (e.g. 42 ounces of oats at ALDI vs. 18 ounces of oats at Walmart), but in my experience, you get more product and spend less at ALDI. Here are some examples of the price differences:

  • Raspberries at ALDI for $2.49 vs. Walmart for $3.48 (28% price difference)
  • Oats at ALDI for 0.06 cents an ounce vs. Walmart for 0.09 cents an ounce (33% price difference)
  • Cinnamon at ALDI for $1.19 vs. Walmart for $2.44 (51% price difference)
  • Butter at ALDI for $2.99 vs. Walmart for $3.37 (11% price difference)

Of course no raspberry crisp is complete without ice cream on top! I paired them with raspberry cheesecake gelato because of the raspberry swirl, but feel free to use your favorite flavor.

    Made this last night for 4; doubled th eingredients and baked in a single dish. Yum! I used a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Because it was not too sweet, the fruit flavors came through.
