Chestnut Free Ginger Mango Coconut Crumble
Juicy, caramelized mango bubbling beneath a golden, toasted crumble is one of those desserts that feels both tropical and deeply comforting at the same time. Fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon run through both the filling and the topping, so every bite has a warm, aromatic kick that plays beautifully against the bright hit of lime juice. The crumble itself is built on cassava flour and shredded coconut, which gives it a satisfyingly crisp, slightly chewy texture without relying on any nut-based flours or tree nut ingredients that can sneak into baked goods. Maple syrup and coconut oil bind everything together naturally, keeping the whole dish free from anything that could be a concern for those avoiding chestnuts or other tree nuts. Arrowroot starch thickens the mango filling as it bakes, so you get that gorgeous, glossy, jammy layer rather than a watery pool under the topping. It comes together in one bowl for both components, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy the incredible smell coming from your oven. Let it rest for just ten minutes after baking and the filling sets up perfectly — scoop it warm and it's honestly hard to stop at one serving.
