Ingredients for a Tropical Fruit Crisp

The ingredient list is straightforward and flavorful, requiring pineapple and mango chunks to create a juicy, fruity base. The topping is a crunchy blend of whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, coconut sugar, cold light butter, and a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut for that tropical flair.

How to Make Pineapple Mango Crisp

To prepare, start by preheating your oven. Grease a baking pan with nonstick spray and mix the pineapple and mango chunks with a little flour in the pan to help thicken their natural juices during baking. This ensures the crisp doesn’t become too soggy.

Next, combine the flour, oats and coconut sugar in a food processor. Process until the oats are partially broken down and the ingredients are well mixed. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Evenly distribute this crumbly oat mixture over the fruit in the pan. Bake until the topping is golden and lightly crispy. This simple yet exquisite Tropical Pineapple Mango Crisp is sure to be a hit, offering a fresh take on traditional fruit crisps with its unique blend of flavors and textures.

Customizing Your Tropical Pineapple Mango Crisp

This versatile Tropical Pineapple Mango Crisp can be easily adapted to suit your taste or whatever ingredients you have on hand, making it a flexible dessert option for any occasion. Here are some delightful variations to consider:

Add Different Fruits

Feel free to mix up the fruit combinations based on what’s in season or your personal preferences. Try adding bananas for a creamier texture, or peaches for a sweet, tangy flavor. Kiwi can also add a bright, tart contrast to the sweetness of the mango and pineapple.

Experiment with Toppings

Switch up the crisp topping by incorporating different types of nuts such as almonds, pecans or walnuts for an added crunch. Serve your cobbler with a dollop of light whipped topping to make it feel extra special and decadent.

Play with Sweeteners

If you prefer a different type of sweetness, substitute coconut sugar with honey or agave nectar. Watching your sugar intake? You can use a natural zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Each sweetener brings its unique flavor profile that can enhance the tropical theme of the dessert.

Make it Vegan or Gluten-Free

To cater to dietary restrictions, you can easily make this crisp vegan by substituting the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative. For a gluten-free version, ensure that your oats are certified gluten-free and use a gluten-free flour blend instead of whole wheat flour.

By customizing your Tropical Pineapple Mango Crisp, you can create a dessert that not only meets dietary needs but also caters to your tastes, making each baking experience uniquely enjoyable. Refer to the Nutrisystem Grocery Guide for more information on counting ingredient swaps and add-ins.
