Mixed Berry Crisp with Homemade Whipped Cream

We had friends over for dinner and I found out that it was their little boy's 2nd birthday. I had no desserts on hand so I whipped up this delicious crisp. This is a wonderful dessert that takes no time to make. I use whatever fruit I have on hand. It's quick, easy to make and so delicious.

• 1 cup of fresh (or frozen - slightly thawed) blackberries
• 1 cup of fresh (or frozen - slightly thawed) blueberries
• 1 cup of fresh (or frozen - slightly thawed) strawberries
• 1 cup of fresh (or frozen - slightly thawed) Raspberries
• 2-3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until blended thoroughly. Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray and add berries. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes.

• 1/2 cup white flour
• 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, uncooked
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 4-5 tbsp slightly softened butter

While the fruit is baking in the oven, add flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and butter to a mixing bowl. Mix ingredients with your fingers until crumbly. Once the fruit has cooked 20 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top of the fruit. Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes longer. Serve with homemade whipped cream (recipe below) or vanilla ice cream.
