Cherry Plum Fruit Crumble (Crisp) is one delicious and super easy way to enjoy the fresh plum and cherry season with an irresistible buttery crumble and a dollop of Homemade Coconut Whipped Cream.
You are just going to love this cherry plum fruit crumble as it is only slightly sweet, gluten-free, dairy free and has that irresistible crunch from the baked topping. We love eating it toasty warm from the oven by the spoonful.
There is something magical about pairing something creamy and delicious with our crispy and delectable cherry plum fruit crumble. Have you ever made coconut cream whipped topping? It is super easy. Blend full fat coconut cream with a mixer until stiff peaks or about 3 minutes and add a dash of your favorite sweetener of choice. Of course, some good ole fashion vanilla ice cream or even lactose free ice cream is a perfect pair too. When your cool coconut whipped topping, begins to melt on top of the warm cherry plum fruit crumble…that is pure heaven.
Why you are Going to Love Cherry Plum Fruit Crumble
The best part about this Cherry plum fruit crumble is how simple it is to throw together. This is essentially a dump the ingredients into a pan and bake. Heck it was so easy we whipped this up during packing and moving week.
The beauty of a fruit crumble (crisp) is that you can use any fruit that is in season. A fruit crumble is delicious in the summer with fresh berries, stone fruits and cherries, in spring with mangoes and rhubarb, autumn apples, plums, figs and pears and in the winter, you can even use frozen or canned fruits of choice. The choices are only restricted by your imagination. If you love eating the delicious fruits of the summer season, be sure to try our Mini Apricot Tarts for a delicious and quick treat.
We used a basket of fresh mixed plums for this Cherry Plum Fruit Crumble recipe. We had black plums, red plums and yellow plums (that they labeled as shiro white plums at the Farmer’s Market…must be due to our large Japanese population in the area). All delicious but slightly different sweetness and texture for each.
The amount of fruit and crumble ratio is about 2:1. For our 9 x 9 crockery dish, we used about 3 cups total of plums and 1 cup pitted cherries to 2 cups mixture of gluten-free oats and ground almonds for the crisp. We used Splenda Brown sugar blends to reduce the carbs but you can use regular dark brown sugar if you wish.

I was just telling my husband last night that I'm craving a warm fruity dessert, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! This certainly fits the bill. Looks great and I wish I could have it tonight!
