Notes
Fresh mango makes the best puree. Peel and cut one ripe mango, then blend until smooth.
Store leftover mango puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a frozen version, combine all ingredients with 1 cup of ice in a blender until smooth.
Skip the simple syrup if using very ripe mangoes or if you prefer less sweetness.
