What do you have with your crumble?

[SybilTheSpy]

Yes, a pressing topic for a Monday.

I fee like it needs to be something cold to counteract that lava like temps of a crumble but I hear that some people favour hot custard. Are you an asbestos-mouthed hot custard consumer?

I like yogurt with mine, cool and tangy.

Some cold vanilla custard might give a nice contrast but I tend to do a combo of cream and vanilla ice cream.

Why no 'nothing' option?

Vanilla ice cream

OMG you are like my son. We had this very discussion last week when I made apple crumble. I also made hot custard but he opted for cream, which surprised me as I know he likes custard. Turns out, after nearly 30 years of eating custard with crumble, he has decided the hot crumble needs to be counteracted by something cold! I am shocked! For me, the double whammy of heat is what it is all about.

Hot crumble, cold custard

I sometimes do a strawberry and peach crumble in early summer, and it would be yogurt or whipped cream with that

Clotted cream for me.

Because you can't have nothing with it.

You just have it in its own. :p

Hot crumble, hot custard, and ice cream for good measure 😂 The only way for me!

Get weird looks in restaurants when I order though...

Evaporated milk 😋

I have custard. Not hot, just nicely warmed. I want to be able to taste the crumble, not burn my mouth.

yoghurt or cream

Custard is the best, or ice cream.

I also quite like an occasional thorough drenching in evaporated milk.

Piping hot custard. Anything else is a disappointment.

First serving with hot custard straight after dinner, and then a second serving with vanilla ice cream later in the evening once children are in bed.

I refuse to believe that walking among us are people who would eat crumble on its own.

Yoghurt and evaporated milk taking me by surprise

You think you know someone! 😂

COLD custard, much to the absolute disgust of DP (hot custard, yet cold cream?)

Are you an asbestos-mouthed hot custard consumer?
I sure am.

I've genuinely never considered that crumble could be eaten with anything else. Mind blown.

Went and had a meal with another couple in their village pub , when it came to desserts the make said to the waitress ' his usual ' and out came a crumble with all 3 !
Ice cream , warm custard in a small jug and cream .
On went the lot.

More crumble

I like cold custard - ie the good stuff from Waitrose/M&S made with real cream and vanilla. I thought I was unusual in preferring it cold rather than heated though but I like the contrast with the hot crumble.

Many years ago when DH and I were first dating he went up to the bar to order dessert in a pub. I'd asked for crumble with custard. They didn't have any crumble left, so he ordered me cheesecake.. with custard! We always laugh when we remember that 😆

Isigny sur Mer creme fraiche for me. Tangy but luxuriant like clotted cream.
