Wheat Free Mango Coconut Crumble
Juicy, caramelized mango tucked under a golden, toasty crumble is the kind of dessert that makes people ask for the recipe before they've even finished their bowl. The filling gets a bright lift from fresh lime juice and warm Ceylon cinnamon, while arrowroot starch pulls everything into a luscious, jammy consistency as it bubbles in the oven. What makes the crumble topping so satisfying is the combination of cassava flour, tapioca starch, and shredded coconut — together they bake up with real crunch and a subtle chew that honestly rivals any traditional version. No wheat flour needed, and you'd never know it was missing. Solid coconut oil works into the dry ingredients just like butter would, creating those irresistible pea-sized clumps that turn deep golden at the edges. A drizzle of coconut cream over the warm crumble at the end is optional, but it adds a cool, creamy contrast that takes the whole thing over the top. This is the kind of fruit dessert that feels indulgent and effortless at the same time.
