Keep cool with some sweet and spicy Mangonadas

Wow! Today is going to be a scorcher in Southern California. On days like this, we usually head over to our favorite fruit vendor in Santa Ana for some mangonadas. But because it’s a weekday and we are working from home, I get to make these refreshing treats in my own kitchen.

Mangonadas, also called chamangos, are a frozen mango pulp, mixed in with sweet, spicy and tangy chamoy — a sauce made with tamarind and plum. The sauce is sweetened and also spiced up with chile powder. The combination of flavors is heavenly. Topped with chile lime salt, lime juice and chunks of mango, this summer treat is perfect for days like today.

The sweet, spice and tang is balanced out with ripe mangos and Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar. You will be hooked as soon as you take that first sip.
