Non-Cookie Desserts At Crumbl We Wish We Had Year-Round
BY Carmen Varner
Strawberry Shortcake
The Crumbl strawberry shortcake may have the allure of being a light summertime dessert, but it should be offered year-round due to its sweet and tangy taste.
The house-made strawberry jam gives the treat a moist texture and a bright hue. The fresh, fluffy whipped cream between the double-stacked vanilla shortcake adds to its charm, too.
Banana Bread
The texture of the mini loaf of banana bread sold at Crumbl is the perfect mix of spongy and cakey. It's smaller than its standard loaf counterpart but still shareable.
The timeless banana bread is moist but not wet. The streusel topping gives it a crispness that brings both a touch of sweetness and contrast to the otherwise soft loaf of bread.
Cookies And Cream Pie
The Crumbl cookies and cream pie is served cold. It features a cookies-and-cream crust and filling topped with whipped cream and cookie crumbs.
The crust and the cookie crumbs make the dessert hearty and contrast the otherwise soft and creamy texture. The chilled treat does a great job balancing the flavors, too.
Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Crumbl’s salted caramel cheesecake is creamy and rich in both taste and texture. It has a fluffy cheesecake body and a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust.
The treat looks great, thanks to its noticeable layers and caramel drizzle. Plus, you get the sweet and salty contrast from the caramel cheesecake and the salty sprinkle on top.
Berry Trifle Cake Cups
The berry trifle cake cups are sweet but not overly cloying or dense. The cake is light, and the creamy custard and tart berry preserves add a tasty contrast.
The dessert is beautifully layered, although you wouldn't know it just by looking at the pink cup. Plus, the trifle comes with a lid to keep it from getting messy during transit.
