- 6 matzo ground into course crumbs
- ¼ cup matzo meal
- 2 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 stick of unsalted butter melted
- 1 pound fresh or frozen fruit (such as blueberries and strawberries)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ lemon zest and juice
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, mix together the crushed matzo, matzo meal, both sugars and ground almonds.
Melt butter and add to matzo mixture. Toss with a fork or your fingertips to combine.
Line a medium size baking dish with parchment paper and add ½ of the matzo mixture to the bottom. Press down and on the sides of the baking dish and set aside.
In a food processor, add thawed fruit and pulse a few times until it is a "chunky" puree. Add fruit to a bowl along with lemon zest and juice and almond extract. Pour mixture on top of matzo mixture and then add the other half of the matzo mixture on top.
Bake crumble for 35-40 minutes until fruit begin to bubble and topping is lightly golden brown.
Once done, it will be very hot. Let cool slightly then serve with fresh berries and a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream.
