Creating a mango puree is easy. All you need is a few ingredients and a food processor to create this tropical fruit dish.

Today, Kim and I are sharing a really simple recipe that has a ton of uses in the kitchen.

While you can eat this puree as-is, it’s better suited for smoothies (great for our mango banana smoothie!), pie fillings, or as a topping.

Best of all, our mango puree only uses two ingredients and takes 10-minutes or less to prepare.

What can I do with mango puree?

There a lot of things you can do with pureed fruit. For example, you can freeze it for smoothies, use it as a topping for crepes or pancakes, mix it into batters for breads and cakes, or use it as a topping for ice cream.

How long does mango puree last in the fridge?

Like most fresh foods, we only store dishes like this the fridge for 3-5 days.

One last thing to mention, I do NOT recommend using frozen mango for this recipe. Simply put, it lacks the flavor and moisture needed to create a quality puree.

    1. Good morning Jeanne, sure you can use a blender in place of a food processor. The texture might be a little different, but it should work. Thank you for asking, have a lovely day 🙂
