Author's Comments
Mangos are seasonal and can be pricey. I've also substituted canned peach slices for the mangos. Just drain the juice from 6 canned peaches and cut into 1/2" cubes.
*Additional note for myself:
Be sure to move Cool Whip from freezer to refrigerator the day before use. This allows the Cool Whip to thaw all the way through. It makes easy folding into the cream mixture.
