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.
