Vanilla Cupcakes with Mango Frosting

For these cupcakes I made a standard vanilla cupcake, and for the frosting I decided to make a simple Mango Buttercream.  I had a mango that we didn't eat, so I pureed that in a food processor.  Meanwhile I beat together 1 stick of butter with a dash of salt, then added about a teaspoon of vanilla, powdered sugar and spoonfuls of the mango puree until the right taste and consistency was reached.

Holy Mango!

These mangoes are being sold at Trader Joes right now and they are sooooooooo good!  So sweet and perfect!  This type of mango stays green even when ripe so don't be fooled!  I just ate it when it was a little soft and smelling sweet.  Carlinhos and I were bent over the kitchen sink eating it because it was so juicy!  Better go buy some before they're gone!!!
