I made it without the chili and it was perfect. Everything else was the same in proportions

This was really good and easy to make. But it calls for far too much chili. I like spicy, often really spicy, and this is even too strong for me. I would honestly suggest 1 teaspoon, not a tablespoon. Perhaps this was a typo.
On a side note, I set aside some of the blended puree, strained it and poured it into a martini shaker with a couple ounces of vodka and it was really tasty!

I made this for a friend's dinner party and it was a hit with everyone. It's a great way to use mangos that get a bit too ripe. Since we live in Santa Fe, NM, I used medium hot chili from Chimayo, NM but reduced the amount to 1/2 tablespoon. Just enough heat to make it interesting. I'm getting ready to email the recipe to all the guests who just loved it.
