Ingredients

• 1 large (about 1 cup of mango puree) Ripe mango
• 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 3 cups (sifted) Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe mango, remove the pit, and chop it into small pieces. Blend the mango in a blender or food processor until smooth to yield about 1 cup of mango puree. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed. Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the mango puree, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the frosting is creamy, fluffy, and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.

Step 5

Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more powdered sugar in small increments.

Step 6

If the frosting is too soft for piping or spreading, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to firm it up slightly before use.

Step 7

Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
