INGREDIENTS:

For Filling:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

TIPS:

• Fruit Ripeness: Select ripe mangoes and pineapple for the best flavor. Look for fruit that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
• Topping Texture: For a crispier topping, pulse the topping ingredients in the food processor until you achieve a coarse meal consistency. This provides a delightful contrast to the soft, juicy filling.
• Serve Warm: This dessert is best enjoyed warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
