This recipe for strawberry rhubarb shortbread crumble isn’t your ordinary crumble. It has gobs of shortbread cookie! Every bite is fruity, sweet, crispy and buttery!

Strawberry rhubarb pie is a delicious treat for the summer! But wait until you try this strawberry rhubarb shortbread crumble!

Made with fresh, sweet and ripe strawberries. Fresh rhubarb. And lots and lots of butter…

I never said this was a healthy recipe!

If your a fan of shortbread, you will love this crumble! Each piece has gobs of crunchy, buttery shortbread. It pairs so well with the sweet rhubarb filling! It’s a match made in heaven basically.

This was my first time baking with rhubarb. Ive always enjoyed eating it in pies, so I wanted to give it a try, and make my own creation.

Pie is good, but its so unoriginal! I like to mix things up sometimes.

Making the strawberry rhubarb filling was pretty interesting to me. I never knew that mixing fruit with flour and sugar creates a syrup! So cool.

The longer you let the fruit sit in the flour and sugar mixture, the more syrupy it gets!

This recipe is by no means a quick recipe. But its pretty easy to follow!

You can serve this crumble at room temperature, or warm it back up in the oven and serve with some ice cream! Yum!
