Do you love mangoes as much as we do? Then you will love spending your time here as I have curated the best of the best mango recipes from your favorite food blogs across the world!
Being brought up in a tropical country where summer means nothing but scorching heat, I could only find my solace in this magnificent fruit during the hot months when I was a child. As I grew up, my love for mangoes has only taken a steep upward curve!
Bangalore is known for its cooler weather compared to other big cities, but that doesn’t stop us from loving this beautiful fruit. When I was a kid, I only savoured mangoes as a plain cut fruit, but as I explored more food blogs, I came across hundreds of ways in which you can enjoy this king of fruits.
Few years back, I made a no bake mango cheesecake which was showered with immense love from all of you. So today while I was collating all the must try mango recipes for myself, I thought why not share it with you all as a token of gratitude!
I have picked up 20 best mango recipes which you must try this mango season! You will get all possible things you can make using mangoes starting from mango lassi, mango mousse, mango kulfi to mango popsicle! Also few savory recipes using ripe mangoes.
Most of the recipes that I selected today are using ripe mangoes, with only couple of them using the green or raw mango. If you are interested in more raw or green mango recipes, let me know in the comment below and I will come up with best recipes using raw mangoes.
Now let’s dive right into the recipe galore! Just note that there is no method to this madness! The recipes are all arranged randomly!

If I may, can we first look at the beautiful no bake mango cheesecake which I mentioned above? This is a beautiful piece of cake that is easy to put together as you don’t need to bake it.

Mango mastani, is a popular drink in Pune and as rightly described by Dassana Amit in her super popular blog Veg Recipes of India, is more than a simple mango milkshake which got a ‘grand makeover and turned into a soul-satisfying dessert’ and I can’t agree more!
The name itself stirs a curiosity in me and since I don’t have any plan to visit pune in recent future, I am definitely gonna try this at home! You should too!

Kulfi is my husband’s favorite dessert. Usually you will get pista or any other variety of kulfi throughout the year; but I am not a fan of kulfi unless it is a mango kulfi! Mango makes everything crave-worthy!

I do make mango mousse at least once every summer, but could never get a chance to capture it in camera! But I have this stunning mango mousse recipe from Khusboo who blogs at Crave your Craving!
Mango is the perfect fruit to make a mousse with because of its creaminess which gives the mousse the perfect consistency. And the recipe that I have selected for you is also free of gelatin, so it’s a total vegetarian’s delight!

Only thing you need to be doing to make a soul satisfying salad is to let it chill for good amount of time before you dig in. The flavors take time to mingle with each other; so make it a day ahead for best result.
