Strawberry Mango Treats (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Mango Cupcakes

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 - 1/4 cup milk
03 - 1/2 cup mango puree (fresh or from a can)
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 3/4 cup sugar
06 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
09 - 1 1/2 cups regular flour

→ Strawberry Frosting

10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, blended
12 - 3 cups powdered sugar
13 - 1 cup unsalted butter, soft

→ Garnish

14 - A few fresh strawberry slices or mango chunks (if you want)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Spread or pipe on your strawberry frosting once the cupcakes are good and cool. Toss on some sliced strawberries or a couple mango bits if you're feeling fancy.
02 - Beat your soft butter in a big bowl until it's super creamy. Add one cup of powdered sugar at a time, mixing until it looks smooth. Pour in your strawberry blend and splash of vanilla, then beat again till combined. If it's too runny, throw in more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add a little more strawberry or a bit of milk to loosen it.
03 - Let your cupcakes hang out on a wire rack until they're no longer warm before you frost 'em.
04 - Spoon your batter into the cupcake liners. Fill each only about two-thirds up. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. Stick a toothpick in one—if it comes out clean, they're done.
05 - Add the dry mix a bit at a time into your wet ingredients. Mix just until everything's wet—avoid mixing too much.
06 - In a big bowl, beat the soft butter and sugar quick until fluffy and light. Drop in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in mango puree, milk, and vanilla and stir till it all looks blended.
07 - In another bowl, mix up flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir with a whisk.
08 - Fire up the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cupcake tray with paper cups.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Want a bigger mango punch? Add a couple drops of mango extract to your batter.
02 - No fresh strawberries? You can use strawberry jam in the frosting instead.
