Rum-Kissed Mango Crumble

A tropical fruit dessert with a buttery crunch

The mango trees are blooming on Kaua‘i in June, which means golden, sun-ripened fruit is available in abundance at local stores and Farmer Markets. But sometimes you don’t need to wait for peak season to enjoy something that tastes like a tropical escape.

This article delivers the kind of dessert that’s both effortless and unforgettable: a warm, juicy mango filling kissed with Kōloa Dark Rum, brightened with lime, and finished with a buttery oat crumble that bakes to golden perfection. No fancy tools. No complicated prep. Just a delicious reminder that dessert can be comforting, island-inspired, and ready in under an hour.

Let’s bake something warm, sweet, and worthy of sharing.
