Ingredients
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
- Cook the Tapioca Pearls: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sago and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the sago for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove the pot from heat, cover it, and let the sago sit for another 10 minutes until the pearls are completely translucent.
- Drain and Rinse: Pour the cooked sago into a fine mesh sieve to drain the hot water. Fill the same pot with cold water and set the sieve containing the sago over it to keep the pearls submerged and cool while you prepare the mango mixture. This prevents the sago from clumping together.
- Prepare Mango Mixture: In a blender, combine the mango chunks, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the blend, and add more condensed milk if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
- Combine Sago and Mango Blend: Pour the mango mixture into a large serving bowl. Add the drained and cooled sago pearls and gently stir to combine evenly.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the Mango Sago in small bowls or glasses. Optionally, garnish with a drizzle of extra coconut milk and fresh mango chunks for added texture and presentation.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the tapioca pearls while cooking to prevent clumping.
- Soaking the pearls after cooking in cold water helps maintain their chewy texture and prevents sticking.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of condensed milk according to your taste.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- This dessert is best served chilled for a refreshing taste.
