Soy Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, crumbly crust — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes people hover near the oven waiting for it to come out. The berry filling gets coated in maple syrup, arrowroot starch, and a squeeze of lemon juice, so it thickens into a glossy, jammy layer that holds together beautifully once it rests. The topping is where things get really interesting: cassava flour and tapioca starch give it that satisfying crumble texture, while shredded coconut and coconut oil add richness and a subtle tropical note that plays off the tart berries perfectly. A pinch of ground ginger alongside the Ceylon cinnamon keeps the spice warm without being heavy-handed. Soy hides in a surprising number of packaged desserts and baked goods, but every ingredient here is naturally free of it — no swaps or substitutions needed. This is a genuinely crowd-pleasing dessert that just happens to work for anyone navigating soy concerns, and nobody at the table will notice the difference. Let it rest those full ten minutes before serving so the filling sets up properly and every scoop is as good as it looks.
