One of the best desserts I've made...this was superb hot out of the oven with vanilla frozen yogurt, and also a treat warmed up in the microwave for breakfast. It makes a lot so smaller families may want to consider a half recipe in a square brownie pan. Extremely fresh mangoes and macadamias made this extra good - if using fresh fruit, avoid the fibery strings.

We enjoyed this, though the topping is more like granola than like that of a crisp because of the liquid. I used 3 fresh champagne mangos for 2 cups for a fourth recipe for two people (which I think would actually feed 4!). The macadamias are key here for the pairing of flavors.
