Coconut Pineapple Crisp

By Angela Sellari Jump to Recipe

Fruit crisp is such a classic dessert. Make this coconut pineapple crisp and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate summertime treat.

This naturally sweet dessert has a buttery, crunchy oat topping that is the perfect balance of flavor and texture. The addition of coconut to the crumble topping gives this summer dessert a taste of the tropics.

This coconut pineapple crisp requires few ingredients and comes together quickly.

Sweet and tangy pineapple chunks topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble of oats and coconut. This fruit crisp will have your family and friends begging for more! The balance of tangy pineapple and the crunchy coconut topping is something I find irresistible.

An easy summer dessert like this is the perfect ending to a summer BBQ or pool party.

Coconut Pineapple Crisp is a fun twist on a southern classic – apple crisp which I also absolutely love. However, this pineapple version is better suited for summertime and the coconut makes it amazingly good.

The full recipe with measurements can be found in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Can I use fresh pineapple in this recipe?

Yes, you can use fresh pineapple. You will need about 4 cups of fresh pineapple chunks with juice. Also, if you prefer to you use 2 (20-ounce) cans of pineapple chunks instead of the crushed pineapple, that is fine too.

Why I love this recipe.

I love that this recipe is the perfect balance of sweetness. It is not overbearing like some recipes. The pineapple flavor really shines through. This dessert is rather quick to make, and it satisfies any pie cravings. It pairs so nicely with a spot of whipped topping, but I love it best with vanilla ice cream.

How to Store Pineapple Crisp

It is important to store a fruit crisp properly, to keep it from getting soggy. Allow it to cool completely, then cover it with a paper towel, and wrap well in plastic wrap. You can store this dessert on the countertop for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, you should wrap well in additional plastic wrap to freeze.
