This keeps the filling from being too runny. - Pairing with ice cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of warm cherry almond crisp is pure bliss. The cold ice cream melts slightly and adds creaminess. - Garnishing tips: Sprinkle sliced almonds and a dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving. This adds a nice crunch and looks pretty. - Ideal serving temperature: Serve the crisp warm but not too hot. It should be just cool enough to enjoy without burning your mouth. - Over-mixing the topping: Mixing too much can make the topping tough. Just blend until you see crumbs. - Underbaking the crisp: If you take it out too early, the topping will not be crispy.
