How to Make Mango Frosting

  1. Peel and pit 2 ripe mangoes. Cut the mango flesh into chunks.
  2. Puree the mango chunks in a food processor until completely smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3 cups powdered sugar using a stand mixer on low speed until combined.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture.
  5. Gradually add the mango puree (about 1/2 cup to start) to the butter mixture, mixing on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  6. Add more mango puree, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with less and add more as needed.
  7. Mix the frosting for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through, then mix for another minute to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  8. Frost your favorite cake and enjoy! For a smoother frosting, chill for 15 minutes before using.
