Ingredients
You only need one (maybe two) ingredients to make this tasty puree:
- Mango - Of course, the not-so-secret ingredient is fresh mango, and any variety will work for this recipe. You can tell if a mango is ripe by giving it a gentle squeeze. It should have a little give if it's ripe, similar to a fresh peach. Frozen mango may also be used. Make sure to defrost it and drain any excess liquid before using.
- Sweetener (Optional) - Depending on how sweet your mangos are, or what you'll be using the puree for, you can add sweetener if you'd like. I like to use maple syrup, but other sweeteners (such as honey or granulated sugar) may also be used.
This pureed Mango Pulp is naturally vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and dairy free!
You'll Also Need
You'll need a sharp knife to peel and chop the mango, as well as a food processor or blender to puree it.
How to Make Mango Puree
This flavorful fruit puree is super straightforward and easy to make! You'll find a detailed recipe card below, but here's an overview of the steps:
- Chop mango. Start by peeling and chopping the mango.
- Add mango to food processor (or blender). Transfer the mango to your food processor. If you're planning to include sweetener, you can add it now, or you can add it after tasting the puree. Tip: Squeeze the mango pit over your food processor to capture as much juice as possible.
- Puree until smooth. Make sure to stop a few times to scrape down your food processor to make sure you get all the little pieces. To thin the puree, add water a little at a time until you get the right consistency. Tip: If your mango is especially fibrous, you can strain the puree in a fine mesh strainer before using, but it usually isn't necessary.
And that's all there is to it ... your Pureed Mango is done and ready to use! Wasn't that simple?
Variations
This pureed Mango Pulp recipe can be easily customized depending on how you plan to use it. Here are some simple ideas:
- Sweeter - Make the puree sweeter by blending in maple syrup, honey, granulated or brown sugar, or other sweeteners.
- Lemon / Lime - If your mango is a little flat tasting, mix in a little fresh lemon or lime juice to perk up its flavor.
- Salt - A pinch of Kosher salt is another way to make the fresh fruit shine.
- Spices - Add extra flavor by stirring in fragrant spices, like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg.
- Vanilla - Mix in a little vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Thinner - Add a little water or some fruit juice to thin it out.

If you use a zip top bag, you can freeze the bags flat (do this on a baking tray) so they take up less room in your freezer.
