Here are some recipes using Hero Mango compound and puree:

If you search the website there are more recipes. 
The hero compounds are VERY!!!!!! strong. The container recommends no more than 10% added to any recipe. I usually use it in combination with a puree or nectar of the same fruit. Because there is so much citric acid in the compound to keep the color bright, it tastes quite strong ( and bad) traight from the jar.
I dunno... it could be a bad batch... ? thanks
If the compound doesn't work for you, another product that I have used with good success is Torani's Frusia. It's about halfway between a puree and a compund. They market it as a smoothie flavoring, but it's worked well for me in curds etc. It'll work in cake batter and powdered sugar frosting, but maybe not in egg based buttercream.

How is it that I've never heard of this before??? I just ruined 3 cheesecakes for a customer using fresh mangoes that must have been artificially ripened because they tasted a bit like turpentine. This product would have saved me!!!!
Thanks for posting this, I have bookmarked the page!
thanks for the tip on the toriani product i'll give it a shot...
