What makes this recipe special?
This recipe is special as I get to use fresh and delicious tasting mangoes in the summer months (my absolute favorite fruit) and turn it into a heavenly dessert!
Additional notes:
Cook's tip: Reserve a few mangoes to use as decoration for the final presentation of the cake.
