Ingredients

2 large red mangoes or 3 smaller Ataulfo mangoes or frozen mangoes (see below)
1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
1-2 tbsp sweetener (I used maple syrup, but sugar works too) or more if the mangoes aren't very sweet
1-3 tbsp water optional, to adjust consistency

Instructions

Start by peeling and slicing the mangoes in cubes. Watch my quick video to see how I do this.
Then, transfer the fruit in a small-medium pot and add the sweetener and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until the mangoes are softer. Stir often to prevent burning/sticking to the bottom and add a splash of water if the fruit is drying out.
Then, transfer to a blender (or food processor) and blend on high until smooth. Check on the texture and add some water to thin out the coulis as needed.
Optional: to have a super smooth consistency, then you can also pass the mango coulis through a fine mesh colander to remove any large pieces of fruit or extra fiber.
Pour in an air-tight container (I love glass mason jars for this) and keep in the fridge until ready to use. I recommend chilling the coulis for about an hour before using. Serve over cakes, oatmeals, chia puddings, overnight oats, pancakes, mocktails, iced teas, etc.

Notes

Store the coulis in an air-tight container for up to 4-5 days.
To use frozen mangoes: use about 2 cups of chopped frozen mangoes and also, add also about 2 tablespoons of water to the pot to help the mangoes thaw. Also, I find frozen mangoes often to be on the sour side, so if this is the case, simply add a little more sweetener to compensate.
You can make this recipe completely free of added sugar by simply omitting the sweetener. This will work better if your mangoes are ripe and naturally super sweet.
