Sweet potatoes don't get nearly the cool wrap they deserve. With all the pumpkin-spice-mocha-caramel-apple hype…
Strawberry Hazelnut Crumble with Coconut Whipped Cream
Strawberry crumble is the one dessert I can’t wait to make as soon as summer strawberries are in season! Perfectly sweet and topped with an oat and hazelnut crisp topping (or you could do almond topping) and finished with a generous dollop of the creamiest coconut whipped cream.
Strawberry Crumble with Oats
We are officially in summer mode and I couldn’t think of anything better kick off strawberry season than with a classic straberry crumble (or strawberry crisp).
This strawberry crumble has an interesting addition of hazelnut flour and if you love the flavor of hazelnuts, you will LOVE hazelnut flour, as well as old fashioned oats for that classic crisp topping.
To continue the hazelnut flavor, I added a “generous” dash of hazelnut liqueur to the strawberries, but just a little because it can be pretty potent.
And the best part of this crumble…..coconut whipped cream!
As the crumble bakes in the oven, make the coconut whipped cream. Find coconut cream in the grocery store, right next to the coconut milk. However if you can only find coconut milk, just use the thick cream and not the coconut water.
Then just whip up as you would regular whipped cream! It won’t get as thick as dairy whipped cream but can still holds it’s own as any topping.

Coconut Whipped Cream
- 13 ounce can of coconut milk coconut water removed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.I
- In a bowl, mix together all the topping ingredients. Use your fingers to work in the butter until it is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, mix all the filling ingredients and pour it into an oven safe dish. I used my 6 cup souffle mold which fit perfectly.
- Top with oat topping and gently pressing down.
- Bake crumble for 45 minutes until the top begins to turn golden brown. (Note: Keep an eye on it during the last 15 minutes, if it's turning brown too quickly, cover with foil and continue baking).
- While the crumble bakes, make the coconut whipped cream. Open the can of coconut milk and pour out the water. (Save for smoothies, soups, etc).
- Pour the thick coconut milk into a the bowl of a stand mixer (or into a bowl if using a hand mixer) and begin to whip, starting on low speed and gradually moving to medium-high setting.
- As soon as the cream begins to thicken, add powdered sugar and continue to beat. Check every so often for desired consistency.
- Allow crumble to cool for at least 15 minutes and top with coconut whipped cream for serving.
Notes
Crumbles are highly customizable, add rhubarb with the strawberries or any other berries.
If you can’t find hazelnut flour, almond flour is a great substitute.
For the coconut cream, place a can of coconut milk in the fridge for a few hours to help the cream separate from the coconut water.

Coconut whipped cream is totally my jam lately! I love it! And paired with a strawberry hazelnut crumble? GIMME! Pinned!
Strawberries and hazelnut sound like a great combination! I love crumbles and crisps
Total fan favourite in our house and that whipped cream is perfect!
Your strawberry crumble looks terrific! I just bought a second rhubarb plant for the garden…hoping I’ll one day get a big enough crop to actually bake something with it!!!
I typically am the opposite way. I’d like a little savory after a whole lot of sweet. 🙂 Hazelnut crumble, you say? I think this needs to happen in my kitchen.
This sounds so yummy, Samantha! I’m sure it was frustrating not to find the holy grail of rhubarb, but it looks like it turned out great even without it. 🙂 I think the flavor combo here of hazelnut, strawberry & coconut is perfectly springy!
Thanks Dianna!! I do think I have found rhubarb and will pick some up for the weekend..I am so thrilled! Now what to make?
Oh boo, I was just thinking of starting to experiment with rhubarb. Let’s hope these rhubarb farmers get their crops going soon! I think you turned your original recipe idea into something equally as lovely!
