There’s something quite kiwi about the thought of a hot fruit crumble with a side of cold vanilla ice cream or fresh cream. Growing up, fruit crumbles were a weekend staple. My mother’s go to crumble was always a hot apple, topped with lots of delicious spiced crumble. This later led to experimenting with different fruit such as feijoas or sneaking in the odd berries now and then.

Along with the fruit, another very important ingredient would have to be the rolled oats which make up the crumble. With that said, I saw that Harraways Oats are currently celebrating the amazing milestone of 150 proud years here in New Zealand. To celebrate they launched two brand new flavours, Berry Bonanza and Chia, and Coconut and Cranberry. It was their new Berry Bonanza oats that have inspired this recipe, so let me introduce my Berry Crumble Cheesecake.

A play on a hot berry crumble and cold ice cream, this cheesecake packs a punch and really hits those nostalgic notes. Layered with a baked berry crumble base, this is then topped with a frozen vanilla cheesecake filling, crammed with fresh berries and then topped off with more berry crumble clusters. Best served absolutely frozen to mimic ice cream and a berry crumble all in one. This cheesecake will be a crowd pleaser!

If you love oats as much as I do and are eager to try Harraways new birthday celebration range, I have 5 amazing prize packs to giveaway. Scroll down for details!
