This was a great recipe, but I do agree with that I didn't use as many mangos as instructed. I think it depends on how ripe and big the mangos are. I used about 1 1/2 and omitted the vanilla and it was a very true mango taste. I just cut the mangos up into 1/4 inch pieces and beat them into the icing so there was in the end tiny bits of mango which was a welcome treat while eating them.

Frosting was very watery. Tried to add more butter and icing sugar but didn't work. Don't use as many mangoes as it says.

Very VERY watery. I tried adding more sugar but it turned even sweeter. Would not recommend.
