This fresh strawberry streusel recipe combines sour cream, a delicious streusel and ripe strawberries for a delicious and easy dessert!
Oh my…welcome to warm weather, leaves on the trees and strawberry season! Today I’m sharing an easy dessert where the streusel does double duty as the crust and the topping. Love it when that happens. This Fresh Strawberry Streusel recipe also calls for sour cream…which you have to admit makes just about anything taste great. It went together in no time and when it was in the oven, the aroma was amazing. I served it warm with whipped topping and it was a hit. Thumbs up for sure!
The streusel for this recipe does double-duty and acts as the bottom “crust” of the dessert and also the topping. That’s one of the reasons it is so easy and quick to put together. If by some chance this fresh strawberry streusel doesn’t get eaten when it’s fresh, just cover the pan and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. I am pretty sure it won’t last that long though!

Notes
Fresh Strawberry Streusel Recipe Tips
I mentioned in the recipe that substitutes for the fresh strawberries could be strawberry jam or pie filling. Personally, I think homemade jam of any flavor would be perfect. I think that cherry pie filling would be delicous as well. If you use jam, you can sort of swirl it into the sour cream layer. I am definitely trying it that way…and soon.
