If I told you you can have an amazing and quick dessert thrown together with things that you already have on hand would you believe me? I am here to tell you that you can! This mixed berry crisp is made with frozen mixed berries, pantry items that I always have on hand (oats, flour and brown sugar) and butter. It is fool proof and so delicious!
This mixed berry crisp is also the best dessert to make for a crowd since you can make large pans of this stuff. This recipe will make enough to fill one 9×11 pan or four very large ramekins. If you need to make this for even more people, you can just double or triple the recipe. I know from experience on this one as I use this for large events!
For special occasions like the holidays, you can assemble all of the ingredients ahead of time and bake it right before you are ready to eat it (see notes in the recipe below) . I hope you give this a try and see why this is my go to dessert for so many events. It also tastes amazing with ice cream or whipped cream.
Why I love this Recipe
- It uses items you most likely have on hand already in the freezer, refrigerator and pantry.
- It can be made for large groups of people with minimal effort.
- It tastes amazing and everyone loves it (it’s a classic!)
- It can be adapted to fruits from any season.
- You can make everything ahead of time and just assemble right before you are ready to bake it
