I am sure you must have tasted or at least heard of chocolate whoopie pies and pumpkin whoopie pies. Now let\u2019s think totally out of the box and make whoopie pies with a totally different ingredient other than chocolate and pumpkin. How about we make whoopie pies with fresh ripe mangoes, doesn\u2019t this sound interesting? Even I felt quite interesting when this idea struck me after a few days of thinking and searching for creative and different recipes using fresh mangoes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodieblogroll.com\/contests\/new-contest-national-mango-board-leftover-recipe-contest#comments\">The National Mango Board<\/a> is running a contest in Foodie Blogroll and has challenged the foodies to post an original recipe using fresh mangoes. As soon as I saw this contest, I wanted to participate in this contest, as mango is one of my favorite fruits and I grew up eating lots of mangoes. Hence, I challenged myself and thought of the different ways of making some original recipe out of fresh mangoes. Since it\u2019s Christmas season, I wanted to make something sweet and creamy. I suddenly felt whoopie pies would be a good one to have and I added fresh mango pulp while making the batter. I\u2019ve never tried baking whoopie pies at home and so I was really excited to make this for the first time in my kitchen with mangoes. With all confidence I baked the mango cakes and was totally blown away when the mango cakes\u00a0actually came out pretty good from the oven. Then I made the creamy frosting and generously smeared it between the mango cakes.<\/p>\n<p>The mango cake was really soft and velvety; the rich frosting gave an extra creamy kick to the whoopie pies.<\/p>\n<p>Mango pulp: Blend slices of ripe mango with little water to make thick mango pulp.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Mango Whoopie Pies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For making Mango mini cakes:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fresh mango pulp or canned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alphonso-Mango-Pulp-30-Packages\/dp\/B0000ZHZH6%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIATJWMSQIU6C4LKQ%26tag%3Dtechpthetechi-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0000ZHZH6\">Mango Pulp<\/a>&#8211; 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Butter, unsalted, melted- 1 stick, 6 ounces<\/li>\n<li>Light brown sugar-1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Eggs, large at room temperature, lightly beaten-2<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Simply-Organic-Cinnamon-Certified-Containers\/dp\/B001IZK7TA%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIATJWMSQIU6C4LKQ%26tag%3Dtechpthetechi-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB001IZK7TA\">Ground <\/a>cinnamon- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Baking powder-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Baking soda-1tsp<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nielsen-Massey-Vanilla-Extract-Madagascar-Bourbon\/dp\/B000GAWH4G%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIATJWMSQIU6C4LKQ%26tag%3Dtechpthetechi-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000GAWH4G\">Pure vanilla extract <\/a>-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>All purpose flour-1 2\/3 cups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Instruction:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 F.
