When I was younger I did not care for mangoes but I recently discovered that I like them… a lot. I have really been enjoying the mangoes lately, especially the mango crumble that I made a while ago. It was so good that I wanted to make it again. I had also been thinking about a strawberry and rhubarb crumble . After thinking for a while I decided to try combining mangoes and rhubarb in a mango and rhubarb crumble. I figured that the sweet mangoes would go well with the tart rhubarb. I went with a pretty basic recipe and added some grated ginger and coconut to make it a bit more exotic. The mango and rhubarb crisp turned out really well! The sweet mango and tart rhubarb and the hint of coconut was a really tasty flavour combination. Of course melting vanilla ice went really well with it!
Mango and Rhubarb Crumble
ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups mango (diced)
- 2 cups rhubarb (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup coconut (unsweetened)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
directions
- Mix the sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl.
- Add the mango, rhubarb, lemon juice and ginger and toss to coat.
- Mix the flour, rolled oats, coconut, brown sugar and butter in a large bowl.
- Place the mango and rhubarb mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish and pour the topping on.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until it is bubbling and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
I still have yet to try rhubarb. I really need to address that situation. This looks like an awesome place to start!
wow kevin! how do you always come up with such amazing flavour combinations. I also love mangoes, so much that I have one everyday! I’ve never tried rhubarb though, I have no idea what it tastes like.
Like vicarious foodie I have a currently unremediable rhubarb situation, but I will say that I am an incurable mango fan 🙂 Looks great!
I keep seeing rhubarb everywhere, but they’re so expensive here 🙁 I’ll just quietly drool in my little corner in Malaysia then *sigh*
Mango I can do. I’m taking a peek at your mango & macadamia nut crumble the minute I’m done.
Thanks for another amazing recipe 🙂
nice job again kevin. nice. if only i knew a man that cooked like this almost every day!! 🙂
This recipe I am going to try it soon.Mango with ginger sounds spectacular Kevin.Nice blend of colour
That sounds like a great, sweet combination. I like the idea of adding coconut and ginger as well. I have yet to try rhubarb though but I love mangoes so maybe I should start with having them together such as this!
What a great combination of flavors and color too! I would never think of mango in a crumble but why the heck not!
I see where you’re going with this…and I like it. I like mango and rhubarb.
I always have trouble finding good mangoes here. They’re always over ripe.
Kevin, I would be so impressed if I was served this up for a pudding. It looks really rustic and the flavours sound wonderful. I love the ice cream melting slightly onto the crumble yum!
Oooooh, good combo….
Kevin :
I made a similar version – mango and strawberry crumble. Love mangoes!
Yeah, I wasn’t a big mango-lover either when I was younger – thank goodness I came to my senses as I got older, haha ;0) That crumble looks fantastic!!
I love the mango really!!!! this look so nice Kevi, but sadly here dont see rhubarb, but Mom say in Punta Arenas, to south of here she always eat them. xxGloria
Oh yum. The ingredients for this are officially on my shopping list for tomorrow.
there’s something so appealing about a scoop of slightly melted vanilla ice cream. it’s a lovely touch to a lovely dessert!
Looks absolutely delice!
I’ve always loved mangoes, this sounds like a really good way to use them.
mangoes are my favorite food!
AAAAGH, My comment disappeared, ok, in a nutshell I wrote that it looks amazing. I don’t wanna write it all up again. 😐
mmmmm….. looks wonderful! i love mango too, especially in salsa with shrimp.
Kevin, you just pushed me over the edge – where are you finding the rhubarb
Oh, this is heavenly and brill. good job.
You really have a way with fruit. I must try rhubarb soon.
i never would have thought of this combination but it sounds (and looks) delicious! yum yum YUM.
I can get everything in that list except rhubarb!
Now that is just my kind of crumble. Mango and rhubarb a unique pair but it works so well!
I was looking through your list of yummy mango desserts, but this one just popped out at me. I’ve been waiting for strawberry season here to make strawberry/rhubarb desserts, but you’ve given me a new idea.
thanks,
Michelle
Thanks for the recipe! I made this today using strawberries instead of rhubarb. It was beautiful. I substituted dairy free margarine for the butter and it came out great. Thanks again!
Here is my blog entry about it:

Hi Kevin,
Do you think using tart apples instead of rhubarb would work?
Thanks~
Lisa: An apple and mango crumble sounds good. Cranberries are also in season and I think they would work wonderfully as well!
