Delight in this refreshing Mango Sago dessert featuring tender tapioca pearls in a luscious mango and coconut milk blend, sweetened with condensed milk for a creamy tropical treat perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 200 g small tapioca pearls
  • 600 g mango chunks (about 5 small mangoes)
  • 400 g coconut milk (1 can)
  • 50 g sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sago: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the sago pearls and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the sago for 10 minutes until partially translucent.
  2. Soak the Sago: Remove the pot from heat, cover it, and let the sago sit for 10 minutes so it becomes completely translucent throughout.
  3. Drain and Rinse: Pour the cooked sago into a fine mesh sieve to drain the cooking water. Fill the pot with cold water, place the sieve on top, and keep the sago submerged in cold water to prevent clumping until ready to use.
  4. Blend the Mango Mixture: In a blender, combine mango chunks, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth, tasting and adding more condensed milk if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
  5. Combine and Serve: Pour the mango blend into a large serving bowl, add the drained sago, and stir gently to combine. Serve the mango sago in small bowls or glasses, garnished with extra coconut milk and fresh mango chunks if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure to stir the sago immediately after adding to boiling water to avoid sticking.
  • Soaking the sago after cooking helps achieve perfect translucency and texture.
  • You can adjust sweetness with extra condensed milk based on your preference.
  • Chilling the dessert before serving enhances the refreshing taste.
  • For a vegan version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or a plant-based sweetener.
