Alternatively, if you do not want to hand chop the mango, you can also use a good-quality food processor. Here are my picks for the Best Food Processor!

Add 2 cups of mango chunks and drinking water into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend mango flesh into mango puree.

Run the mango pulp thru your best fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smooth puree instead of the fiber from the mango pulp. Set aside.

Lightly grease silicone molds with vegetable oil or line pyrex glass container with plastic wrap.

Pour the liquid into the molds. Allow the liquid to cool down before setting the whole thing in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can also pour mango mixture into individual serving bowls. It is a great way to portion and serving easier!
