Dear Mom,
If we lived close by, I would make you this strawberry mango crisp for Mother’s Day brunch. It’s pretty, bubbly, and sweet, with many different layers. Just like you. There’s a nutty layer too – wink, wink. (Two teenage girls in the house can do that to a person!) When I think back to my teenage years, I feel guilty about how much I took our relationship for granted. I’m irritated by my former self who thought it was so ‘uncool’ to be seen with my mom at the mall. If I could get those years back, I would’ve proudly walked by your side and invited you more places with me. In my mind, parents were often obstacles to having more fun. I thought you were too cautious and worried about my safety and I couldn’t fully understand why you cared so much. Like that night I was really sick due to some poor choices and you sat beside my bed all night long, not sleeping a single wink, just to make sure that I would be ok. And then you grounded me like you should have. You knew that I wasn’t invincible like I thought I was.
After the teen years, I started to appreciate our relationship more with each passing year until one day it dawned on me that you are one of my best friends. You are one of the first people I share good news with or when I have a problem that needs sorting out. You have this magnetic smile that always makes me feel lucky to witness. I don’t have to worry that you’ll be bitter about my successes or secretly happy about my setbacks. Your love and support is as genuine as it gets.
This Mother’s Day has a new meaning in my life. I now understand why you were so afraid of losing me and why some days it was incredibly hard to let me go. The mother-daughter bond is a complicated one with many ups and downs, but it’s one that I can’t wait to navigate with my own daughter.
With love to you and all the mamas,
Angela

Springtime Strawberry Lime Mango Crisp (Vegan + GF)
By
Fresh strawberries, buttery mango and tangy lime create a naturally sweet, gooey crisp with a crunchy almond-oat-coconut topping. I love making this crisp in the springtime when mangos and strawberries are at their peak. And when I say "crisp", I really like a crisp topping (which is what you'll find here). Serve it as a healthy weekend breakfast or alongside a brunch. I especially love it after it’s chilled in the fridge overnight – the syrup thickens and the leftovers are irresistible the next morning. To turn it into dessert, add a scoop of ice cream. This recipe is adapted from the Apple Crisp in The Oh She Glows Cookbook.
Yield
6-8 servings
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Ingredients:
FOR THE FILLING:
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (about 5.5 cups)
- 2 cups chopped fresh mango (about 3 mangoes)
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar (or granulated sugar of choice)
- 1.5 tablespoons lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 1 cup rolled oats, use certified gluten-free if necessary
- 1 cup thinly sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup almond meal or almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease an 8-cup (2 litre) casserole dish.
- For the filling: Place the chopped strawberries and mango in a medium bowl and sprinkle the arrowroot powder on top. Toss until the fruit is coated.
- Stir in the sugar and zest. Drizzle on the lime juice and lightly toss to combine. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared dish and spread out evenly.
- For the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, almond meal/flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt. Pour on the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir until combined.
- Sprinkle the topping all over the fruit mixture in an even layer.
- Cover the dish with foil and poke a couple holes in the foil. Bake for 20 minutes, until the fruit is tender. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling up around the sides.
- Serve with a scoop of non-dairy vanilla ice cream, coconut whipped cream, or simply on its own. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

It’s a girl! Congratulations!
A GIRL! Congrats Angela!!!
Love this letter to your mama! Crazy to think you will be a mom this time next year! : )
This is the most understated gender reveal I’ve seen on the internets…nice work, Angela! Simple, beautiful, and so sweet. Congratulations!
I also have a question I’ve been wondering about…is your husband vegan? Most of the men I’ve date have not been vegetarian, and I always wonder how that all works out in a marriage. Will you raise your child as vegan?
Thank you Laura!
Eric isn’t vegan, but a large amount of what he eats is plant-based. Our child will be raised with a mix of both our diets most likely.
I have the opposite problem – my boyfriend is vegetarian and i’m not. I love everything plant based and have absolutely no problem eating meatless/fishless meals but whenever I want to indulge in let’s say a good piece of steak I feel guilty! He says he doesn’t mind and doesn’t want to impose his way of eating on me but still, I find it a bit awkward at times!
Ps: congratulations, i’m so happy for you guys. I’m sure you’ll be wonderful parents!
This would be a much appreciated topic to read your thoughts on! I struggle with this and wonder what my future child will eat.
What a sweet post :) I don’t know if it was your intention but you did let the baby’s sex slip. Congratulations and I hope you continue to have a healthy pregnancy!
Yay for a girl!! So excited for you!! Heartfelt congratulations xx
Yay a girl!!!! Congratulations!!!!! When my daughter came into the world there was a bond there that was so amazing and tender that I delight in it every day. You have so many exciting and wonderful things on your horizon, congrats again.
Can you do this with frozen fruit? I have bags of frozen fruit from Costco in the freezer and this sounds sooooo good I could make it right now:)!!
Thanks for all you do. Love the cookbook.
You might be able to – I would probably thaw the the fruit and drain off the excess water before baking though :)
What a beautiful post – I can relate to this so much and would do almost anything to be able to fly home for the weekend to spend Mother’s Day with my mama! Congratulations on the exciting news – a girl!! How exciting :) Also, this springtime strawberry lime mango crisp looks fantastic – I am very excited to try it this summer! I like how you made a healthy and gluten-free crumble (which is my favourite part!). Pinned and have a wonderful weekend :)
Lime is just an awesome update to a crisp! I love the idea of fresh citrus with baked goods.
A girl!!! Yay!!
This was a beautiful post and wishing you a wonderful early first Mothers Day =D
Now I’m off to make this dish!
Awwww how very exciting! I am sure she is going to be beautiful and a wonderful person. What a great role model she will have to look up to :)
This crisp sounds delightful, what a perfect summer dessert! I will definitely be making this to enjoy after my half marathon. I am afraid I would not be able to stop eating it if I made it right now!
Oh dear, maybe it’s my pregnancy hormones (or the beauty and simplicity of the letter), but I’m a little teary-eyed at my desk!
Mothers are truly our best friends, and it really is a shame how long it takes us stubborn girls to realize it!
Congratulations on your sure-to-be-beautiful baby girl (and what a perfect way to share the news)!
Yay for girls! I’m so happy for you. I’d be curious to know how/if your diet has changed while being pregnant and also if you plan on raising your daughter vegan.
Hi Joanna, It hasn’t changed that much apart from taking extra vitamins and getting more protein (something I will write about in the baby section shortly).
A beautiful post and a beautiful dessert! Congratulations!!
Yay! Little Girls are the best! (although if I had a boy i’m sure i’d say little boys are the best :-)) And I agree with your post – I can only now see how hard it is to let your babies grow up and leave the nest. Looking forward to seeing some baby food recipes in about a year!
And now I am all teary-eyed :) I am so happy for you both! Truly truly wonderful news… my daughter is 2 and I had no idea I could love anyone as much as I love her. Your heart and Eric’s will grow bigger by the day – it is *the* most amazing feeling ever!
Enjoy the ride :)
/Kristina from Sweden.
So sweet :) Thanks for sharing Kristina!
I really like the red and orange colour combination :) very visual.

Ooh – love this crisp! Light and perfect for spring and summer. What a sweet note and theme for today’s post, too :) Congrats on having a baby girl!!
A girl! Congrats!! :)
Lovely – in the UK we celebrated Mothers Day at the end of March. :-)
I love your recipes and am excited to try this one!! I write a nutrition and health blog nudemushroom.com. My post today I will be mentioning your recipe and your blog:) Thanks for being so inspiring!!
Congratulations!!!! Such a sweet post and a great way to reveal the sex of the baby. I was just wondering if you’ll be doing a post anytime soon about having a vegan pregnancy? What does your daily meal plan look like? As a fellow vegan planning on a family one day, this would be greatly appreciated. Congratulations again :)
Hi Vicky, I hope to touch on some of these topics in my baby section over the coming months. I have a post in the works on the vitamins coming fairly soon.
It’s a girl! Congratulations!, your letter touches all mamas hearts.
This looks flipping unreal!! Love the mangos in there!
Thanks for the congrats you guys!
Congratulations on the news of your baby girl! Such a lovely way to honor you mom, as well. I feel so similarly. Moms are very special people!
Also, this crisp looks AMAZING!
Aww a little girl!! Congratulations Angela! I’m so happy for you :) I’m also glad you added a baby section! And this strawberry lime mango crisp looks amazing. I’m definitely making it next week!
Congrats on your Angela on the news of your little girl! I must say, this letter to your mom brought tears to my eyes and it really hit home with me and my relationship with my mom. Thanks so much for sharing !
I’m glad it resonated with you TJ :)
What a beautiful letter, and how timely with the news that you will be mother to a daughter yourself. Congratulations! I have followed your blog for a long time & the genuineness you describe in your mother is how I imagine you as well. You & your husband will make great parents to this lucky baby :)
I absolutely love fruit crisps! That looks diving and perfect for a mother’s day brunch. Congrats on your sweet baby girl. What great news.
I love the open letter you wrote to your mother! It’s very touching and well-written. Nothing is more special than literature written from your own heart. I sort of teared up feeling all the love from it. Happy early Mother’s Day to you!
What a beautiful post – it totally made me tear up! You are such a talented writer & talented cook. Happy Mother’s Day. :)
When I read your letter, I wasn’t sure if you were referring to your “someday” daughter or giving everyone a subtle hint. :) Congrats on your baby girl and I can’t wait to make this crisp – your food photography always does this to me!
What a lovely tribute to your Mom! I am so into crisps and strawberries right now. Plus I have breakfast guests tomorrow so this will be perfect! I already made your doughnuts from the cookbook for road trip snacks. They are so freaking good!
Love the gender reveal. Congratulations!!!
Oh Angela, congratulations to you and Eric!!! Sweet baby girl :) I had this instinct that it would be a baby girl.
i could have written this exact post for my mom. so beautiful. and congrats on the little lady. i knew it ;)
Hi there, this recipe looks great! Wondering if there’s any way to make the crust crispy without the oil? I’m oil-free. Thanks!
To be honest, I haven’t tried it without the oil so not entirely sure. The real crispy part comes mostly from the sliced almonds though so you might be ok re-working it.
you could try some unsweetened applesauce…
This was incredibly good and my entire family (including those who don’t like cooked fruit desserts) loved it. Instead of oil, I stirred in a few long squirts of coconut cooking spray into the topping before spreading it on the fruit and it came out great – nobody missed the oil.
This made me tear up! Moms truly are the best. And that crisp looks delicious.
The letter to your mom is so touching!
And this strawberry lime mango crisp looks amazing!
A girl! Congratulations to you and Eric! This post was so touching. I can relate to the relationship you have with your mom. For me, it was with my grandmother, but we experienced similar ups and downs before I realized how close we were. I teared up a bit reading this. You have such a knack for writing, Angela!
The recipe looks delicious. I love the idea of springtime flavors in a dish that’s typically more fall-based.
A girl!!! Congrats!!
Aw this was a beautiful post, congratulations! That’s so exciting she’s a girl! And of course the recipe looks delicious as always (:
Thank you guys for your lovely comments! xo
Angela this is so gorgeous! The strawberry with the lime, the juicyness, and the crispy crumbles, and that awesome Emile Henry baking dish (I think, right?) – the color just pops and brings it to life!
And you are going to love having a baby girl…I cannot imagine my life without my daughter. Best gift of my life, past, present or future :)
Such a sweet letter to your mama, fun post. But love love love the recipe, I was just thinking I want to make a strawberry crisp the other day. Need to make this asap! Pinned.
This looks divine! Sending this post to my mom today <3
That is so beautiful, and a huge congratulations on your baby GIRL!!! I am so happy for you.
It’s a girl! Congrats! What a sweet letter and the perfect way to reveal the gender :) Enjoy this time! Can’t wait try the crisp, especially with mango! Yum.
Ahhhh….Congratulations on your baby girl! She is already so lucky to have a momma like you. (:
And, of course, this recipe looks phenomenal. Perfect for spring and summer. Thank you for sharing! xoxo

ah this looks too good! My mom would love this!
Oooooh you’re having a girl!!!! I’m so so so happy for you Ange! It must be so unbelievably exciting to think that this time next year, you’ll be having your first mother’s day. On another note, this looks phenomenal. I can’t wait to give it a try!
This post made me get a little teary. Just too sweet… Congratulations Angela!
This looks sooo delicious. I must try it!
Thank you for sharing this post.

I love what you said to your mom there, it’s so beautiful and honest, and it touched me because I’m a teenager, well, I’m 18 (I can’t believe how fast time goes by) But this made me realize that I can’t waste time to tell my mom how much I love her, everyday. How grateful I am for all the nights she has spent beside my bed, taking care of me, as your mom. I’ve thought a lot of time that she is my best friend. I’ll cook something like this for her next weekend. Thank you Angela, and congratulations for your baby! I’m sure you’ll be an amazing mom!!
A girl! Congratulations! Beautiful letter. I too wish I could get back my sulky tenge years where I didn’t want to be seen with my mom! Now, she is my best friend!
Awww that’s so heart touching!
A girl!! Congrats to both of you. You must me over the moon. I am so happy for you. And your letter to your mom touch my heart.
The breakfast looks devine. Have to go and buy some mangoes this weekend :)
I guess I have a different experience my mother is a obsessive pathological narcississt who im no contact with. i did not tear up far from it…haha
Hi there, could I replace the almond meal/flour with regular flour or does it have a specific property that requires it in this recipe?
Thank you!
Nice to hear you will have a girl soon. I felt so touching about your letter to your mom, that’s what I would say, but I haven’t got the chance to tell her anymore!
Happy mother’s day!
my mother is the type of “women ” who has Munchausen by proxy syndrome gives her children cptsd. true story …. Angela I still wanted to post even thou its not the kind of comment you feel is not the “Energy” of osg , you shared your experience and that’s why women are attracted to ur blog we both no that. sorry if you feel my childhood cheapened your brilliant letter. Ps. I did make my comment pg for you.
Oooh! Congrats Angela and Eric! How exciting! My son was born October last year and reading about your journey is bringing back all sorts of pleasant memories and emotions. Yes, I even look back at the nausea with a smile as it meant my little boy was growing and is here with me today. It’s all worth it!
Congratulations! Beautiful letter, subtle reveal, and thank you for sharing. I hope you and your Mom have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Recipe looks delish too! :)
Great post. It looks delish

This looks super delicious – perfect for a Mother’s Day Brunch indeed.
This is such a sweet note to your mom =)
Happy Early Mother’s Day to you Angela!!!
What a beautiful post!
I’m planning on making this recipe for Mother’s Day brunch. Can I substitute the Almond Flour for Coconut Flour?
A baby girl! <3 Congratulations!!!!! May God bless you all. Always.
Wow that looks good. Im glad its GF I cant wait to try it!
This really is a next level Müsli!
It’s a girl!!! Congratulations!
What a delicious thing for breakfast. Mango and strawberry sounds like very yummy combination!
Congratulations!!! I have two girls of my own and I am very thankful for them!! They are pure joy!!! Your post was beautiful and made me cry this morning!!! God bless our mothers for all they gave us and went thru with us!!!LOL! Hopefully our payback will be easier;) LOL
I often jump right to your recipe, but this morning I took the time to read your post. Congrats to you and your husband. I am not just teary-eyed but silently weeping. I too have a great relationship with my mother, but struggle daily with raising two teenage girls. You’ve given me a much needed reminder that it’s just a phase some girls go through. Thank you and my advise, reread your post in 16-17 years! Now I’m checking pantry cause I must make this crisp!
Beautiful post Angela – and how exciting that next year you will have a little one to call you mommy (well, maybe she won’t be saying it yet…but soon!).
Wanted to let you know I made the roasted potato and asparagus dish for a get together with friends last night – it was a hit! So delicious! I used purple potatoes as that is what I had and had no mustard seed but subbed ground mustard – it worked great. Thanks again for a yummy meal :-)
Now I need it to warm up around here so I can feel like making this crisp – it looks delicious but the weather makes me want fall/winter things still :-(
Hi Angela-
Congrats on your baby being a girl! So exciting.
I made this recipe and I love it. I was just wondering if there was any way to keep it fresh longer than 2 days…
Thanks! :)
Oh, this looks so delicious! And now I want to make it for my Mom. I just had to tell you we love your new cookbook and that my new favorite breakfast is the savory oatmeal! I used to love a veggie omelette but your oatmeal recipe is now my new love. We like the tofu scramble with avocado toast weekends, too. Everything we have made so far is oh so good!
I can eat this for brekkie, snack and midnight snack ;)! Fresh and healthy! Btw, that was one sweet note to your mom :).

What a sweet post (and a sweet looking recipe).
Two of my favorite fruits – can’t wait to try this. Your letter to your mama is pure loveliness!
What a great post! Such a nice letter and such happy news – a baby girl! Congrats!
Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Aww! This brought tears to my eyes. This is my first mother’s day, well, kinda first as a mom (I was in your same shoes last year w/ my little one on the way), and your life really does have a completely different meaning once you understand a mother’s love. I cringe at how I must’ve made my mom feel during my teen years. I try to apologize to her now on a daily basis ;)
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it out. I’ve been having so much fun trying out the Oh She Glows cookbook recipes that I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog recipes as much as I’d like! I think I’ll try to make this one sometime this week to get me started :D
Angela, that was beautiful. So is the Strawberry Lime Mango Crisp. Congrats!
Congratulations Angela! I see in Saturday’s Globe and Mail that your cookbook is #1 on their top 10 list of cookbook/food books. I made your favorite veggie burgers last night and they are delicious!
Jane
Thanks for your congrats! I forgot to pick up a copy…oops!
Glad you enjoyed the veggie burgers :)
Been following the blog for a while and absolutely inspired by the recipes as I’ve had to evolve my diet! This post moved me, so I had to write to say congratulations! You and your mom sound lucky to have each other and it will likely be the same with you and your little one!
If you are still looking for some good prenatal dvd’s for exercise, check out Blooma’s Prenatal am/pm dvd. Blooma is a prenatal/postnatal yoga studio in Minneapolis.

Hi Ange, I could not be happier for you and Eric. I still remember the first time you set eyes on him in English class…the rest is history!
I made the crisp last night and it turned out absolutly amazing. My boyfriend has a nut alergy so I omitted the almonds and used whole wheat flour instead almond flour and it turned out perfectly!
Congrats to both of you on your baby girl! I love subtle reveals like the one in this post. I can’t even imagine how much the meaning of Mother’s Day must have changed this year. All the best and a DELICIOUS-looking recipe! I need to get on this…after I bake some brownies :)
I want to devour this now…and I kinda LOVE your spoon! Great pics :)
Angela, I made this last night but subbed the mango for rhubarb and my kids ate it up (and so did I of course). They requested it for breakfast, which I happily dished out! Great recipe.
Awe what a sweet letter and the crisp looks delish! Congratulations on the baby girl, I’m sure it must be amazing to be pregnant with Mother’s day on the way. I’m so glad you can look back at your relationship with your mother and hope to have that with your own daughter. I can’t wait to be pregnant – it is such a beautiful process!
What a lovely letter. I would LOVE to make this crisp for a Mother’s Day brunch, but I am having trouble finding a few of the ingredients. I currently live in Brazil and specialty flours and nuts can be hard to come by, or sometimes just not knowing the translation of a name can make it difficult. So, I am wondering if:
I can use honey instead of maple syrup?
Is there a more common substitute for arrowroot powder?
Can I use wheat flour instead of almond flour?
Thank you.
I recently made this crisp (and have made plenty of fruit tarts/crisps in the past) so I thought I’d offer my knowledge!
Yes, you can use honey if you prefer. Use maple, agave, or even coconut nectar for a vegan version.
Cornstarch can replace the arrowroot. I’ve used both with great results. I tend to use arrowroot in baking and cornstarch in cooking, but they’re basically interchangeable.
Wheat flour works just as well instead of almond. I used oat flour in this crisp. Any neutral tasting flour (oat, wheat, spelt, etc) will be fine.
Best of luck! I highly recommend this crisp. The lime is an incredible, and essential, component! Yum!
Thank you so much Robin! I’ll try this out.
Hi Angela! Very happy for you!!! one question…if i made this crisp tonight for dinner tomorrow, would it have to be refrigerated? i’m trying to keep the crispyness if that makes sense..
Hi! I would recommend refrigerating it. Unlike baked goods like breads/muffins, this is probably one to refrigerate. If you’d like to reheat/re-crisp it, stick it back in the oven until heated through, and then broil for 2-3 minutes (keeping a close eye) until the topping crisps up again. Worked great for me!
YUM! I just used one of my mangos in a coconut rice dish today, which was incredible. I have one more that needs to be eaten pronto. I’ll have to give this a try in the morning. Thankfully, I have some organic strawberries in my fridge. Thanks for the great recipe idea.
This was absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!
Congrats on the baby girl!! :)
She will be so sweet just like your recipes! :)
I can’t wait to make this for Mother’s Day brunch. I don’t have and have never used arrowroot powder. Do you think cornstarch would be a good sub? Thanks!
Congrats, Angela! There were definitely a few tough years (Isn’t being a teenager fun?) but now I’m proud to call my mom my best friend. I just know that you’re going to be a wonderful momma; your future daughter is one very lucky little girl.
This recipe just felt so right to me. I enjoyed it for breakfast this morning with a dollop of your whipped coconut cream, and I can’t wait to make it for my mom the next time I see her. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!
Congrats on the baby girl! Thank you for sharing that sweet letter to your mom. It brought tears and a few smiles as I remembered a few groundings I received myself. (Back before I ever knew just how much I would come to appreciate my mom.)
This recipe is amazing. I think I ate it for 3 meals in a row. Yikes! Very good, Thank you!
Congratulations on having a girl! My mom and I made the apple crumble from your book yesterday and it was delicious :)
Hey Angela, I made this yesterday for breakfast today (Mother’s Day) so it could sit in the fridge before serving. My mom was in love! Served it with some Coconut Bliss Island Vanilla ice cream. A huge hit! Thinking about subbing the mango for rhubarb and lime for lemon in a future attempt (per others’ comments). Thanks for the recipe!
Made this crisp for myself for Mother’s Day! Just enjoyed some cold leftovers on top of plain yogurt. Fabulous!
I already knew with the announcement on FB but I just re-read this and caught the “daughter” part. Continually excited for you guys. xo
I made this on Sunday for Mother’s Day and it was an absolute hit! My mom adored it (and so did I!). Even my dad liked it, and he usually sticks his nose up at anything “vegan” or “gluten-free”. The only thing I noticed was that it was very watery, but that was probably because I skipped the arrowroot powder since I didn’t have any. I wouldn’t suggest skipping that or alternatively I would suggest using cornstarch to thicken the mixture a little. Otherwise, it was absolutely fabulous, especially when I topped it with whipped coconut cream :)
Totally late to the party here, but wow, did I tear up reading this post. What a sweet tribute to your mom and a beautiful way to announce your news. I remember the moment I was finding out I was having a girl. There’s nothing like it. Congratulations and Happy Belated Mother’s Day! :)
Congrats on baby news :) I look forward to reading about your vegan meal plans throughout pregnancy.
In regards to the recipe, do you recommend anything specifically to sub for almond? My partner has an almond allergy but this dessert is otherwise so him ;)
This dessert looks beautiful. One question – do you have any suggestions for making this nut-free?
I hope you are feeling well!!
Congratulations! I have a 2.5 yo girl and a 4 month old baby boy. Being a mama is so great (tiring, but so great). From all I’ve read in you book and on the blog I can tell you will be an amazing mom!
It makes me SO happy to know that you’re having a daughter also!! I was always worried that if I didn’t have a girl first, then I’d never have one (just me? haha). I hope Eric’s bought a shot gun already ;) haha (No seriously…Tyler wants one! haha)
My 1st post after enjoying Angela’s recipes & all the wisdom I find here constantly! I just made this! Fabulous. The only change is I had big mangoes so used 2. Also, I make fresh almond milk every morning so used really fresh almond flour, still moist with a bit of milk. Hey, that made the crumble topping even RICHER tasting. Really it did. Happy happy pregnancy, Angela!
Just finished off the last piece of this from the freezer. This was so good, you should consider putting it in your next cookbook! Perfect combination of flavors and textures. Once baked, the mango just melts in your mouth.
The only thing I changed was doubling the starch so it was not runny and it really came together amazingly. Your desserts are all very good, but IMHO, this one is the very best!
This looks divine! It’s not strawberry season where I am (New Zealand) so I’m going to try it with frozen blueberries instead. Thanks, and keep up the fantastic work!
I love to add crushed tapioca to these type of dishes. Cant wait to try this one.
My girlfriend loves your blog and this recipe. It is her birthday and I am going to surprise her by making it. Congrats on the baby!
To reduce the calories in this recipe I swapped the oil for 5 dates that I blended into a paste. Also did not include the coconut.
It came out AMAZING. Next time I think I will try reducing the sugars/maple too (gotta lose this weight :) )
Mangos are by far my favorite fruit. These flavors remind me so much of running away to Hawaii when I was 15 (long story). Always looking for new, fun and flavorful recipes.

Made this for Mother’s day with a side of non-dairy strawberry ice cream and wow! I couldn’t get over how good it turned out, everyone raved about it and requested I make it again very soon. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Hi, what is the arrowroot powder? Is it absolutely necessary? Can I remplace it by something? Thank you!
Angela,
Could I just use my almond meal left over from making almond milk in this recipe?
I can’t eat any grains (oats).
Thanks, Josie
This was phenomenal! Sweet and zesty, soft and cruchy. Thanks again!
Thanks Sandra! So glad it was a hit :)
O….M….G…….WOW!!!! I made this today and ate it with a scoop of sugar free coconut icecream, and oh my goodness, I am in HEAVEN!!!!!! I recently changed from vegetarian to vegan for my weight loss and I was getting ready to give up till I found out about you thank youuuu! This recipe was awesome..instead of coconut sugar, I used 2 tbsps of maple syrup in the filling to go a little lighter on the sugar since the mango was already sweet. I don’t know how much to thank you I want to cry. I never knew that being vegan could be exciting too. I will be doing many of your recipes for my weight loss journey. Also I read your entire story and it brought me to tears, reminds me of myself and pushes me to stop doing things that stress me and starting to go more for the things that I love and am skilled in!! You ROCK!!
Awww thank you SO much Candice! Your kindness is so appreciated and I’m so honoured that you feel that way about my recipes and story. Sending you so much love!
