Tropical Fruit Cobbler Recipe

Jan
2013

This fruit cobbler recipe is a raw foods version made with tropical fruit and a wonderful change from the more traditional fruit cobbler recipes. I love it made with tropical fruits. But I am a serious tropical fruit lover know I will have to move to the tropics one day, at least for the winters! 😉 The topping has nuts and coconut that go really well with the mango, pineapple and papaya, but even so this recipe would work great to make a delicious peach cobbler recipe or a berry or apple cobbler recipe as well. Just substitute fruit and you can lower the coconut and add a little more walnuts and almonds. I love playing with recipes but even so I have made this one exactly as is a few times, and this tropical fruit cobbler recipe has been really successful at a few various gatherings.

The photos below are of the trays I made of this cobbler recipe to bring to a pot luck a few years ago. I brought 2 huge roasting pans of it and it was a huge success. Even with so much (I love lots of food at pot lucks!) it still got all eaten!
