Here is a recipe. I just found it. I do not like Mangos personally speaking so would never try it for myself.
Mango Buttercream
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup mango puree
Zest and juice of 1 lime (well, in this case, I'll just sub 2 tbsp of OJ)
2 tablespoons honey (any mild-flavored honey will do)
4-5 cups of powdered sugar
In a mixing bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add mango puree, zest and juice (or OJ) and honey.
Mix well. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until desired spreading consistency is reached.
It makes about 12-14 servings. I'm going to use orange juice as you've suggested and report back.
