Mangos a la canela

Mangos a la canela is a traditional dessert originating from Tamaulipas. It's usually made with a combination of large ripe mangos, cinnamon, and sugar. The mango, sugar, and cinnamon stick are covered with water and simmered until the sugar dissolves.

The mango is removed from the pan and the remaining liquid is reduced until syrupy and thick. The slices of mango are arranged on a plate, drizzled with syrup (it can be hot or cold), and the dessert is typically served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
