For the best flavor, use ripe, fragrant mangos. If fresh mangos aren't available, you can use frozen mango chunks, thawed and pureed. Don't skip the water bath! It's crucial for a smooth, creamy texture. If you like, top it with toasted coconut flakes or chopped macadamia nuts for added texture. For an alcohol-free version, simply omit the rum.
