Raspberry and Coconut Crumble Recipe



Another neat raspberry idea, this time a light and coconut-scented crumble. We loved this with lightly whipped cream, and finished it in no time at all. The recipe is adapted from a Swedish food magazine Allt om Mat (12/2008) and serves 6.

Raspberry and Coconut Crumble
(Vaarika-kookosevorm)

300 to 500 g fresh or frozen raspberries
3-4 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp potato starch/potato flour

Crumble topping:
150 g butter
200 g coconut flakes (unsweetened)
100 ml (less than half a cup) caster sugar
100 ml (less than half a cup) plain/all-purpose flour

To serve:
whipped cream (season with vanilla, if you like)

Gently mix raspberries with sugar and potato flour and scatter on a buttered pie dish.
Melt the butter, stir in coconut flakes, sugar and flour. Crumble the mixture on top of raspberries.

Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 180 Centigrade oven for 15-20 minutes, until the coconut crumble is light golden brown.

Serve warm or cold with some whipped cream.

Love the sound of raspberries and coconut together (raspberries are my favourite summer fruit).

The crumble part sounds quicker to put together than most crumble recipes - I'm tempted to give this one a go!
