The mango flavor here is subtle; you’ll recognize it as a fruity floral note. For this recipe, seek out ripe, sweet mangos such as Kent. The cupcakes can be made ahead and refrigerated – though bring them up to room temperature before serving.

These toasts are an elegant little appetizer, creamy and rich from the creme fraiche and with a squeeze of lemon to brighten them up.
