Did you know there are more than 500 varieties of mango? With tasting notes that range from coconut-like to sweet-tart and even to those that are reminiscent of Champagne, the mango is the baker’s flavor-packed secret. We roasted ours with a honey-orange mixture to add notes of caramel and citrus and then alternated the fruit with a light cream cheese base to create stunning layers.
