I use the words Fresh Berry Crisp with Brown Sugar Cream loosely with this recipe, because it’s not truly either. Although, the description does fit it well because it is a fresh assembly of bursting berries and crisp granola clusters, topped with sour cream and brown sugar. See? All in the title there.
This is the epitome of simple. In fact, it can hardly be called a recipe. But, it is a combination that I wouldn’t have thought of without some inspiration from another source. Sour cream may seem an odd thing to add to berries, but that tartness along with the sweetness of the brown sugar, is the perfect compliment to any berry you can imagine. If you are not brave enough to try it with sour cream you may substitute it with plain yogurt. But, then you are just having the same old and what’s the fun in that?
The thing I love most about this concoction is that it’s mostly just berries. Usually I have yogurt with sprinkling of berries or cereal with a few berries thrown in. But, this time, the berries are at the forefront and the others are just accents to bring out that fresh fruity flavour. If you are wanting to eat a bowl of fruit but desiring a little dessert like pizzaz I suggest you give this a try.

This sounds so good! As usual, your photo is gorgeous!
how interesting and oh-so-tempting! your photo is gorgeous–it does a great job of making something with a combination of tastes i must question seem really, REALLY appealing. :)
There’s an old recipe somewhat like this that my mother-in-law used to make; she called it Strawberries Romanoff. Usually that is served with ice cream, but she used sour cream and always put brown sugar on top.
The photo in your post is beautiful!
What a gorgeous picture you took! I think you are absolutely right – I normally add plain cream to my berries but sour cream would sound like a better choice!
I love this! Easy and yummy, and just plain awesome!
This sounds so delicious and just what I need for breakfast. Your photos are so lovely…
I’m nine months pregnant right now and all I can think about are the fresh berries at our farmers market. These pictures are sending me over the edge! I can’t wait to try this STAT!
