Mangonada


A mangonada is a Mexican dessert or snack that many would consider to be to be like a sundae. This dessert could be made with either mango flavored ice cream or shaved ice with a mango puree, which are both topped with a chamoy sauce and chunks of mango. Chamoy is a red-like colored sauce almost like ketchup, yet it is spicy and salty at the same time, giving the sweet mango a contrasting taste of bitterness. After the chamoy is added, it is then topped by a freshly squeezed key lime and a Mexican chili salt fruit topping called Tajin. Finally, they are typically served with an additional candy that is a straw wrapped in tamarind paste and topped with chili dust. It is mainly used for decoration purposes, although it is edible of course.
