Mango

Fruity and nutty, creamy and crispy, this Filipino sans rival (that’s “unrivaled” in French) is the most beautiful dessert you’ll make this year.

This mango and cumin lassi from chef Preeti Mistry strikes the right balance of sweet and savory. Try adding white rum, “if that’s your thing.”

Don’t worry about removing all of the melon seeds in this take on the popular Mexican street snack—they’re edible and add a little crunch.

Mangoes and turmeric contain vitamins and antioxidants that are said to help brighten dull skin.

Mangoes are packed with vitamins C and A, both of which provide major skin-brightening benefits. Lime and chile keep this slushy spicy and bright.

Feeling under the weather? This superfruit salad will give you the perfect jolt of vitamins you need to get back on the path of recovery.

Feel free to sweeten this pudding recipe with more agave, maple syrup, or plain-old sugar if lucuma just isn’t your bag.

This tangy and slightly tropical curd recipe makes a good layer cake or meringue pie filling. Or, you know, dip shortbread cookies into it. If gifting this, transfer it to a glass jar and make sure the lucky recipient knows to keep it chilled.

A pinch of salt makes everything taste better, including savory smoothies.
