The cupcakes offer a delightful twist to traditional cupcake flavors, incorporating the unique and tropical taste of mango. The recipe consists of a soft vanilla cupcake, cream cheese icing and a mango curd topping.

    Mango cupcake ingredients

    Cupcake ingredients

    You need the following ingredients for the cupcake batter: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, room temperature eggs, vegetable oil, room temperature whole milk and vanilla extract.

    Cream cheese icing ingredients

    You need the following ingredients for the cream cheese icing: confectioner's sugar (aka powdered sugar), room temperature cream cheese, vanilla extract and room temperature butter.

    Mango curd

    The cupcake is topped with mango curd. Purchase from your grocer or make a ½ batch of my homemade mango curd recipe. I also have a YouTube video to walk you through the steps to make the curd.

    Instructions

    The following short video demonstrates the process to create the cupcakes:

    Making the cupcakes is fairly simple by following the instructions in the recipe card below Add the toppings and any decoration you want after the cupcakes cool completely. For the toppings, pipe two circles of cream cheese icing on the outer edge of the cupcake (note: the second circle is piped directly on top of the first circle). The cream cheese is the vessel for holding the curd. Next, spoon the mango curd on the top of the cupcake.

    Variations

    • Mangos and coconut were made for each other! Add a cup of shredded coconut to the cupcake batter or sprinkle toasted coconut over the finished cupcake
    • Need even more mango punch in your treat? Dig out a small hole in the cupcake and fill with mango curd.

    Storage

    The mango curd and cream cheese icing are both perishable and require refrigeration. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Remove from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperature approximately one hour prior to serving.

      I added the coconut like you had suggested. I had never had mango and coconut together and you were right they are made for each other.
