When a dessert has a heart of strawberry and a coverage similar to a sponge cake but with a crunchy point, it ceases to be a dessert and becomes a real vice!

Loreto, gastronomic author of the blog Sabores de Colores , knows this well, and for this reason she brings us this recipe, knowing that it will also attract the attention of those who seek to surprise their partner on Valentine's Day.

The combination of strawberries and rhubarb has always fascinated me, I usually prepare it in a crumble, accompanied by English cream or even with whipped cream. Today I bring you a similar recipe that varies in coverage. In this case and in this version of cobbler, unlike a crispy dough ( crumble ), it is covered by a dough that resembles the texture of a sponge cake with a slightly crispy surface.

It is a very quick dessert to prepare with which to surprise. Today I bring it to you in a couple version in the wonderful Le Creuset skillet , ideal to take from the oven to the table, Valentine's Day is coming up and I know you are crazy looking for recipes to surprise in that romantic dinner that you have in mind.

INGREDIENTS: 2 people

Fruit filling:

150 gr strawberries in eighths

100 gr fresh rhubarb or in syrup in pieces the size of strawberries

30 g brown sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Coverage:

50g flour

25 g almond flour

25g cold butter

35 g brown sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla essence

½ teaspoon chemical yeast

2 tablespoons cream

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon sliced ​​almond

ELABORATION:

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

2. We will put the strawberries and the rhubarb both chopped. Sprinkle with cornstarch and brown sugar. Remove carefully and pour into our 16 cm Le Creuset skillet . (Ideal for two people!). We booked.

3. In a food processor we have the flour, the almond flour, the butter in pieces, the brown sugar, the vanilla essence, the salt and the chemical yeast. We activate the processor and when we get a sand texture we will stop. Next, add the tablespoons of cream and activate the processor again until we get an integrated dough.

4. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out until it is about 1 cm thick. Next, with the help of a ring about 6 cm in diameter, we will punch 5 circles and place them on the fruit.

5. Sprinkle with the almond slices and bake for about 20 minutes or until the fruit is cooked (you will see that an appetizing syrup is bubbling) and the dough is golden.

I'll tell you a few things... if you don't have a food processor at home to make the dough that covers the fruit, you can do it by hand or with the shovel accessory in the food processor.

Also tell them that the dough is somewhat sticky, don't be discouraged, sprinkle a little more flour on it and that's it. It really is worth it.

I know you are thinking that I have gone crazy and where are you going to get the rhubarb from, but nothing happens, you can substitute that amount for strawberries or even pippin apple that also has that delicious acid touch. I recommend you, and I don't get confused more than I know that you are with the keys in your hand to run out to buy the ingredients, accompany it with a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream, the hot-cold combination, you know, is incredible.

Ah! If you want to prepare more quantity, you only have to multiply the quantities and use a larger skillet or a shallow mold suitable for the oven .
