Crumble with strawberries, plums, and pistachios is a refined dessert with a subtle Italian touch. Its roots trace back to traditional British cuisine, but in this version, it is enriched with the aroma of red wine and spices, making it particularly exquisite. The delicate sweet-and-sour filling of plums and strawberries soaked in fragrant syrup with cinnamon and cloves pairs wonderfully with the crunchy sandy crumble made from muesli and pistachios. This combination of textures makes the dish incredibly cozy and warming. Serving it with a scoop of pistachio ice cream adds creamy tenderness and makes the dessert a perfect ending to lunch or a romantic dinner. This treat is ideal for those who appreciate the balance of fresh fruitiness, spicy warmth, and crunchy texture.
