How to make Mango Frosting
Creating mango frosting is a delightful way to add a tropical twist to your cakes and cupcakes. Here's a simple recipe:
**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup ripe mango puree (blend diced mango until smooth)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare Mango Puree:**
Peel and dice ripe mangoes, then blend them until smooth to create 1 cup of mango puree.
2. **Cream Butter:**
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
3. **Add Mango Puree:**
Gradually add the mango puree to the creamed butter, beating continuously until well combined.
4. **Add Powdered Sugar:**
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue beating until the frosting is smooth and has a spreadable consistency.
5. **Add Vanilla Extract:**
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the mango frosting. Mix until incorporated.
6. **Adjust Consistency:**
If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little more mango puree or a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
7. **Beat Until Fluffy:**
Beat the mango frosting on medium-high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
8. **Use or Store:**
Your mango frosting is now ready to be used. Spread it on cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. If you're not using it immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
