If you love a good crumble, this delicious tropical fruit crumble is going to be your new summer favorite. It’s delicious spooned over your morning yogurt or turn it into a dessert by adding a dollop of heavy cream or ice cream.

Crumble is always a hit here, all year round. Of course, I adapt the flavors to the season and for summer, I wanted to give it a tropical twist. The result: Tropical Crumble with pineapple slices, mango, and peach.

And wow, I loved all those flavors together. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream and you have the perfect dessert that will make a lot of people happy.

I’ve already got quite a few crumbles on the site such as this delicious rhubarb crumble or more traditional fruit crumbles such as this apple crumble.

Ingredients needed

For making this you have two components. The fruit mixture and the crumble topping. I’ll tell you all about it.

Fruit mixture

For the fruit I used the following:

  • pineapple slices
  • mango pieces
  • peaches

Slice the fruit into thin slices and mix it together in a large bowl. You can add a bit of lime zest if you want to freshen things up.

Crumble mixture

For the crumble mixture there are several options. I went with a pretty plain version but you can absolutely add different elements.

  • butter – I use unsalted butter
  • brown sugar – or use another kind of sugar you want
  • vanilla extract – it’s also possible to add a bit of vanilla sugar
  • all purpose flour
  • almond flour – adding almond flour gives the crumble a delicious taste!
  • chopped almonds – or other nuts if you prefer

In addition you can add other flavors too. Think about adding some fresh ginger, crunchy coconut or mix oats through the crumble.

Making the crumble

Now the crumble is easy to make. You just mix all the fruits together and divide it over smaller ramekins as I did here or use one larger oven dish. Both work fine.

The crumble is a matter of mixing the ingredients until you have a nice crumble (or some larger chunks) of dough and sprinkle over the fruit. Place in the preheated oven and bake in 20 minutes until golden brown.

​Tips for making tropical fruit crumble

Can I use frozen fruit for this tropical crumble?

Yes! Frozen mango, pineapple, and peaches work well. Just be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid extra moisture making the crumble soggy.

Why use almond flour in the crumble topping?

Almond flour gives the topping a rich, nutty flavor and a slightly softer, melt-in-your-mouth texture compared to regular flour. Mixing the two together makes it the best of both worlds. You can substitute it for all purpose flour if you prefer.

Can I make the crumble ahead of time?

Definitely. You can prep the crumble topping and fruit mixture separately and store them in the fridge for up to a day. Assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve for the freshest results.

How should I serve tropical fruit crumble?

This crumble is delicious warm from the oven, especially topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, coconut whipped cream, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt for a lighter touch!
