The Secret to Mango Cupcakes

My first few attempts at making these didn’t taste like mango at all or ended up tasting like corn muffins.

This mango frosting is great on pound cake, angel food cupcakes, or when used as a dip for crackers!

Like Chantilly cream, this frosting starts with a base of whipped cream and sugar. However, it quickly diverges as you add in pulverized mango and picks up the amazing flavor and aroma of fresh mango.
