Best 5 Blueberry Shortbread Crumble Recipes

BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place butter cubes in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Sprinkle in Chinese five-spice powder.
• Cut in frozen butter using a pastry cutter until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Mix in egg yolk and continue cutting in until thoroughly combined. Drizzle in ice water and stir to combine. The dough should just come together when pinched between your fingers.
• Pour about 3/4 of the crumb mixture into an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish. Press the mixture down firmly using the back of a spoon. Spread blueberries in one layer and sprinkle with remaining crumbly dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and sides are crisp and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL SHORTBREAD TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the crust and topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, confectioners' sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add melted butter, then use your hands or a wooden spoon to combine ingredients until no dry spots remain.
• Press half of the cornmeal mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom (alternatively, use a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan, lined with parchment), making sure the mixture is evenly pressed on the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides. (Using something large and flat, like the bottom of a measuring cup, will be helpful.) Reserve the remaining mixture.
• Make the filling: Toss blueberries, brown sugar, vinegar, flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Pour the fruit into the crust.
• Crumble the remaining cornmeal mixture over the blueberries, pressing bits of the mixture together into large clumps as you go, as you would with a crisp or coffee-cake topping.
• Bake tart until the blueberry filling is bubbly and thickened, and both the crust and top are nicely browned, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let tart cool completely before slicing into triangles and serving. The tart can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature or refrigerated (especially if your kitchen is hot or humid).

BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Crust:
• In a medium bowl, mix flour and sugar together. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into a 10-inch pie plate or a 10-inch springform pan. Press dough up sides approximately 1 inch.
• Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes.
• Filling:.
• In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar and quickly toss with blueberries. As soon as crust is out of oven, fill crust with blueberry mixture. Dot with butter and cover with topping.
• Topping:.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and sprinkle on top of blueberries.
• Bake at 400F for 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the butter, flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Process until mixture begins to form small lumps; press into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce oven's heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar in a bowl until soft and creamy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, until smooth. Gradually stir in the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest. Pour the mixture over the crust.
• Bake until firm to the touch, 45 to 55 minutes. Meanwhile, make the topping by combining the blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook until thickened. Allow mixture to cool.
• Pour the cooled blueberry mixture over top of the cream cheese layer. Chill assembled cheesecake in refrigerator overnight.

BLUEBERRY AND LEMON SHORTBREAD CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
• Place the butter, flours, icing sugar, lemon zest and salt into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer.
• Mix on med-high for 2-3 minutes until you have a crumbly mix, with no large lumps of butter. This dough will not come together like a normal dough, that's fine!
• Tip the shortbread into your greased pan. Spread and level with a spatula/the back of a wooden spoon.
• In a separate, medium sized bowl, place the 1/2 stick of butter, flour, sugar and oats.
• Mix together with your fingers, until the mix resemble bread crumbs. Some larger lumps are fine. Leave to one side.
• Place the blueberry jam into a small heatproof bowl and heat for 10-15 seconds. This just makes it easier to spread.
• Pour over the shortbread and spread until level. Leave a small 1/2 inch gap around the edges.
• Sprinkle the jam layer with the crumble mix, it's fine if there are a few gaps.
• Place in the oven for 35-40 mins until the top is lightly browned, the jam is bubbling and an inserted skewer into the middle comes out piping hot.
• Leave to cool completely in the pan.
• Once cooled, slice into 9-12 bars. Bars will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 3 days.
