Mangoes are so good, but they don’t last forever.
If you have a bunch of mangoes that are overripe and you’re not sure what to do with them, then this blog post is for you!
Here are 23 delicious recipes that use overripe mangos.
23 Overripe Mango Recipes
1. Mango Cheese Roll
Mango Cheese Roll is a delicious, easy, and quick recipe that’s perfect for summer.
The secret ingredient?
Overripe mangos!
You can use any kind of cheese – or even leave it off if you’re feeling too lazy to slice up some fruit (I know what my family would say).
But best yet…
It comes out every time looking like something from Pinterest- so professional in fact, no one will ever guess how simple this yummy treat really was made with just 4 ingredients.
2. Mango Bars
Mango Bars are delicious, nutritious, easy to make, and ready in about 30 minutes.
There are only 2 ingredients in these bars, but they look like something you’d find at a fancy restaurant.
So go ahead and impress your guests, and show them that not everything has to be complicated.
3. Easy Mango Bread
Easy Mango Bread is a healthy recipe for when you’re craving a fresh piece of bread. It’s light and fluffy and has just enough mango to give it a little zing.
I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of eating bread. But with this recipe, you can eat it any time of day – as long as you like mangoes.
The recipe is pretty easy, but if you’re not sure where to start, here are some tips:
1. You can use any kind of bread, but I recommend using whole-wheat or multi-grain bread for this recipe.
2. The bread should be a little moist.
3. The mango can be cut into slices or cubes. If you do it in cubes, the pieces will be larger and easier to chew.
4. It’s best to let the bread sit for about 5 minutes before you spread the mango on top. This will help the bread absorb more of the mango juice.
4. Mango Crumble Bars
Mango Crumble Bars are perfect to use up the mangoes that are getting a little too ripe for your liking.
And because the mangoes are mixed with a few oats, they’re not only healthy but also delicious!
The secret ingredient?
Coconut oil!
If you don’t have coconut oil on hand, you can use a little bit of butter, but the bars won’t be as soft.
5. Easy Mango Mousse
If you love mangoes as much as I do, you’ve probably already tried making mango mousse. But here’s another way to enjoy mangoes: with a simple, light dessert!
You can use any kind of fruit in this recipe. I’m partial to pears, plums, and apricots. But if you like a sweeter dessert, go for peaches or strawberries!
This dessert is super easy to make and very quick to prepare.
But don’t be fooled by its simplicity – this is one of the best mango desserts you’ll ever eat!
6. Mango Coconut Cake
Overripe mango coconut cake is one of my favorite recipes – it’s quick, easy, and the perfect dessert to serve guests or to surprise your family with when they’re expecting something sweet.
The recipe is so easy, that it doesn’t even have any cooking involved!
This dessert is packed with healthy nutrients, but you won’t notice that because you’ll just be focusing on how good it tastes.
I love serving this dessert on a hot summer day when you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing.
7. Mango Float Recipe
This is the perfect drink for when you’re feeling lazy. It has all the goodness of an ice cream float, without all the fuss and calories!
And as an added bonus, it’s a refreshing drink that’ll be gone before you know it.
I love mango floats because they remind me of summers spent in the country. My family would take a big bucket of ice and mix it with fruit juice, sugar, and water.
Then we’d take our time dipping the frozen ice cream into the mixture and eating it.
It was fun, to say the least, but sometimes I think we didn’t get enough sugar!
So this recipe is just like that, except you can make it with any kind of juice.
Here are a few ideas for your next mango float:
Apple or pear juice, grapefruit, or apple.
8. Tart Mango Bars with Shortbread Cookie Crust
I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of overripe mango recipes that are full of sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. That’s why I’m sharing this recipe with you. It has just enough mango flavor and sweetness without the extra calories.
This recipe is really easy to make – and looks like something straight out of a magazine.
9. Mango Sticky Rice
If you like the taste of mango in your rice, then you’ll love this recipe.
The sticky rice is a bit of a challenge to make, but it’s worth the work.
It’s so delicious, you won’t even mind that it takes a little longer than normal to cook.
So, if you love the taste of mango in your rice, here’s another delicious way to incorporate it into a recipe.
10. Summer Mango Pie
I love pies, and mango pies are one of my favorite kinds of pies.
Mangoes have a lot of sugar in them, but the sweetness is balanced out by the spices and the tangy flavor from the lime.
The recipe is simple – you just take overripe mangos, add some spices and a bit of sugar, and then pour it all into a pie shell.
And then it’s ready in minutes!
11. Coconut Mango Panna Cotta
This delicious panna cotta recipe makes a great dessert when you’re in a hurry. It’s simple and takes just 5 minutes to make.
This recipe will work well with any kind of ripe mango. If you have a favorite variety, by all means, use it.
12. Vegan Mango Cheesecake
Overripe mangoes are the perfect base for this delicious cheesecake. It’s light, creamy and super easy to make. You don’t even have to go to the store to get all your ingredients – just take them out of the fridge!
This is one of those desserts that looks impressive but is actually easy enough to make in 20 minutes.
The taste is a little tangy from the yogurt, but not so much that it takes away from the sweetness of the mangos.
I also love how you can use any kind of fruit in this recipe – apples, peaches, or any other kind of fruit will do!
13. Mango Cheesecake Mousse Cups
Mango Cheesecake Mousse Cups are a refreshing treat that can be made in just minutes with overripe mangos.
These are the perfect dessert to make when you’re craving something sweet but don’t have a lot of time to put into a fancy recipe. They are rich and creamy and have just enough mango flavor.
14. Easy Mango Coulis (3 Ingredients)
Here’s another delicious recipe to enjoy when you have a few overripe mangos lying around. It’s also very easy to make.
I’ve made this recipe twice in a row and I’ve used the same amount of mangoes, but both times the result was so different.
The first time I made it, I used a little bit more sugar than I thought I needed – and the results were a little too sweet.
But the second time I made it, I used half the amount of sugar and the flavor was just right.
So use your own judgment.
15. Best Ever Mango Muffin Recipe
Mango Muffins are a healthy breakfast option, perfect for any time of day, and can be eaten right out of the oven.
I’ve made these muffins for everyone in my family, and they love them.
This recipe is a no-fail recipe that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out on something.
Just like the muffins themselves, there are very few ingredients involved, but you’ll feel like you’re indulging in something delicious.
16. Homemade Mango Curd
Homemade Mango Curd is a delicious, refreshing treat that comes out every time looking so much better than any store-bought mango curd.
I like to serve it with granola or with plain yogurt and fresh fruit.
17. Easy Mango Sorbet Recipe
I love sorbets and have even made my own in the past. But I don’t really enjoy making them, and they’re never as creamy as they should be. So I decided to try a different recipe – one that was easy, yet tasted great.
And boy, am I glad I did!
This is a wonderful dessert to serve when your family is hungry. It comes together quickly and doesn’t require much time or energy.
The only drawback to this recipe is that it’s not really that healthy, but it tastes so good that I can overlook that!
18. 3-Ingredient Mango Sorbet (No-Churn!)
This easy mango sorbet recipe is so delicious, it’s going to win over even the biggest mango fan in your family. No churn needed, no ice cream maker, and only 3 ingredients!
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to ice cream, I think you’re going to love this recipe. I’ve got a few variations below, but first I want to tell you how simple this recipe really is.
The secret ingredient is mango. The sweetness of the fruit really comes through and makes this recipe so light and refreshing.
If you want to take this recipe up a notch, use frozen mango and skip the thawing process. But make sure the mangoes you buy are very ripe – if they’re not ripe enough, you’ll get a slightly bitter sorbet instead of a sweet one.

You won’t believe how simple it really is.
So go ahead and surprise your family with this cake and make them all happy.
