@liuzhou, is there any special type of mango that works best with this? I'm especially wondering  about green vs. ripe mangoes, but I know there are many different mango varieties.

I've only ever made it using ripe (but not over-ripe) mangoes. I like the end result to have a little bite to it.The version I have now (and is shown in my first image) was made using a local variety of mango that remains green, even when ripe. I've  never even thought of using unripe mangoes - it may work.
