What’s a mangonada?

A chamango mangonada (mango-nada) is a sweet/ spicy Mexican dish that became popular in the US after 2010.

It is traditionally served with fresh or frozen mangoes, chamoy, mango puree/sorbet, and chili lime seasonings. I even make mangonada popsicles with the purée!

FAQs

time savers

To save some for later, you may re-freeze a mangonada for a day or two max. Freeze in an open container with room for ice to expand.

Simply set it back out on the counter and wait 15 minutes.
