Keeping the rhubarb content coming these past few weeks. No regrets :)
Crisps are the ultimate lazy dessert. They are messy by nature, which makes them very hard to get wrong. All you need to make a crisp is a layer of fruit, almost any fruit, mixed with a bit of sweetener and maybe some aromatics, and topped with the usually rolled oat-centered crisp element. Time in the oven will take care of the rest. The fruit will get jammy and bubbly, while the topping will become golden brown, mostly crispy, and a bit soft where it interacts with the fruit. Served warm with ice cream or yogurt, it’s pure heaven.
Our version features rhubarb and mango, both of which are still going strong where we are. They make a really special pair – we’re very excited about this one!
The beautiful, floral tartness of rhubarb really shines next to the jammy sweetness of mango, especially when they melt together in the oven. Ginger offers a little sunny sparkle, but you could skip it and still get delicious results. The pistachios in the crisp bring their beautiful savoriness and color, but again, you can easily sub them out with other nuts like almonds, pecans, etc.
This dessert is low maintenance and takes very little active cooking time as far as baking projects go, and the mango-rhubarb marriage is truly something worth experiencing at least once! Hope you enjoy this one :)
