Ever tangoed with a mango? Here’s your chance. Every hot summer day needs a good partner, and there’s none better than ice cream. Whipped into a soft, refreshing dessert, the tropical fruit is smooth and full of grace. Of course, the silken tofu and coconut butter may have something to do with the way it moves and grooves your taste buds. One serving is satisfying enough, but sometimes…it takes two.
