Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Coconut Mixed Berry Crisp bakes evenly and becomes golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of mixed berries. If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them; they can be added directly to the mixture.
- In the same bowl, add the 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Gently toss the ingredients together until the berries are well-coated with the dry mixture.
- Transfer the berry mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crisp topping by combining the 1 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and the melted 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Mix these ingredients until they are well combined and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the coconut and oat mixture evenly over the berry layer in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the berries completely for even baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices settle slightly.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips
- Berry Selection: Use a mix of fresh or frozen berries for the best flavor. Frozen berries work great and save time!
- Coconut Crunch: Toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding to the topping for an extra nutty flavor.
- Even Baking: Spread the berry mixture and topping evenly to ensure consistent cooking and texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
- Make Ahead: This crisp can be prepared in advance and reheated, making it perfect for dinner parties or meal prep.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy topping.
