Black forest crumble

The iconic chocolate and cherry flavours of black forest gateau get the crumble treatment. You’ll love this easy summer crumble recipe.

• When to make it: British cherries are at their very best in July – bury them under a chocolatey soil full of cocoa and biscuits to bring out their juicy sweetness.
• Why it’s so good: This simple summer crumble reimagines the delightfully retro flavours of everyone’s favourite gateau. Serve with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for black forest perfection. 
• Cooking hack: If you don’t have a cherry pitter, you can use the thin end of a chopstick to push the stones out of the cherries. Or if you find that tricky, you can halve the cherries and scoop the pits out with your fingers or a teaspoon.
