Gooey Coconut-Almond Crust (Gluten-Free!)
This gooey coconut-almond crust is absolutely delicious—and completely gluten-free!
Made with whipped meringue, unsweetened coconut, and raw almonds (with the skin on), this crust has a uniquely rich flavor. The almond skin adds a subtle bitterness, balancing the sweetness of the meringue perfectly.
The texture is what makes this crust so special—chewy, gooey, and slightly crisp on the edges, especially when topped with ice cream and frozen. When eaten cold, it’s irresistibly satisfying, with the perfect contrast of crunch and softness.
The combination of almonds, unsweetened coconut, and whipped meringue is truly a match made in dessert heaven. If you prefer a nut-free option or can’t eat almonds, you can easily swap the nuts for oatmeal for a different but equally delicious twist.
This crust is ideal for ice cream cakes, as it freezes beautifully while keeping its chewy, gooey texture intact.
I hope you love this crust as much as I do!
