I’ve never had a mango crisp before, but it sounded like it would work, so I chopped up the mangoes, tossed in some blueberries and couldn’t resist grating up a fresh hunk of ginger I had in the fridge. It was delish and could not be any easier to make.
This recipe will be your new summer staple. It’s perfect for bbq’s, cookouts, and also makes a rather yummy breakfast (if I do say so myself).

oh wow – i’m such not a baker – I need to come back to LA to have dessert at your house!!
MMM..I just got back from the Bahamas, and I had a mango crisp there, and it was delicious!! I can’t wait to try this..I’m sure it’s much healthier *wink wink* The one I had didn’t have blueberries and ginger, so I’m excited to try this!!! Is Beng your husband? 🙂
Steamy Kitchen – You’re welcome any time:).
Maya – Ohhhh, the Bahamas?! That sounds like fun! If you get a chance to try this, I’d love to hear what you think! And Beng is my husband (he shoots and edits all the videos for the site).
Remember a while ago when you asked about picture advice and then you got all this advice from readers on how your pictures will look better, yada yada yada. I HATE that you got this advice because now I want to pull your food from the screen and start eating immediately. Seriously awesome pictures — this looks great.
I luv how easy this sounds! I have a bunch of mangoes sitting around since I’ve been to lazy to peel them up. Thanks for the perfect inspiration!
Leticia – Thank You!! And thanks to everyone who chimed in to help me learn how to take a better picture. I must admit though, the picture thing is a lot easier in the summer b/c of the longer days… I just go right out to the balcony and use the day light to help me. It’s when I have to take photos in doors that I really struggle with the lighting. Anyhow, we’ll see what happens this winter;).
Culinary Wannabe – Fruit Crisp is one of the easiest dishes when it comes to baking (and they’re super forgiving)!!
Looks really tasty 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog 🙂
Awesome idea and picture! I happen to have a mango and blueberries lying around. Hmmmm now my gears are turning!
PS the inside picture thing. I purchased a reveal lite bulb and put it in an old office lamp (the kind you can bend). I move it to the kitchen to take my nighttime shots. Not exactly the sun but gives you a boost of light!
Roni- Can’t wait to see what you do with your mango and blueberries… I’m sure something d’lishes!
And thanks for the indoor lighting tip… I’ve been dreading the shorter days!
Must try this weekend. It looks and sounds divine. I’m wondering about your thoughts on coconut oil instead of canola in this recipe. It seems like it would work well, especially with the pineapple coconut ice cream.
FYI – I mentioned your wonderful site in a recent post.
Martha – I think coconut oil is a great idea for this recipe… wish had thought to do it myself! It will definitely work:) Thanks for the mention!
Thank you so much for this! It was heavenly…
We absolutely love this recipe and it works great as a topping for apples in the fall.
Can you use frozen mangos and blue berries instead?
yes!
