Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
¾ cup fresh rhubarb, chopped
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon yacon syrup
½ cup blanched almond flour
½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and rhubarb. Sprinkle the arrowroot starch over the fruit and mix gently to coat evenly. Stir in the vanilla extract and yacon syrup until well combined.
In another small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaked coconut, and any remaining arrowroot. Using a fork, cut the softened butter into the dry mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. The mixture will be slightly moist.
Lightly butter two 8-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Divide the fruit mixture evenly between them, spreading it to the bottom of each ramekin.
Divide the coconut-almond topping evenly between the two ramekins, distributing it loosely over the fruit. Do not press down.
Place the ramekins into a larger baking dish with high sides to catch any overflow from the bubbling fruit juices. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the fruit mixture is visibly bubbling around the edges with thickened juices.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Comments
Yacon syrup and arrowroot starch are specialty items absent from standard Charlotte groceries—plan a trip to Harris Teeter or ALDI for these, adding friction to a weeknight dessert. The almond flour and coconut topping will run $8–11 total for two servings, making this an occasional treat rather than economical; strawberries and rhubarb are well-stocked, but yacon syrup alone may cost $6–8 and live in the natural/specialty aisle. The 60-minute time understates assembly; expect closer to 75 with prep and cooling. This works as a romantic two-person dessert that reheats adequately, but the specialized pantry items and cost per serving mean it suits planned indulgence, not spontaneous cravings.
