Description
Mango Sago is a creamy and refreshing Asian dessert made with chewy tapioca pearls, sweet mango puree, and rich coconut milk. Served chilled, it is perfect for warm days or as a light tropical treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sago or tapioca pearls
- 2 cups water, divided
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk
- 1 cup thick coconut milk
- 1 cup mango pulp
- Mango slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sago and soak it in ½ cup of water for 1 hour.
- Bring 1½ cups of water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Drain the soaked sago and add it to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 2–3 minutes until the pearls turn transparent, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Drain excess water from the cooked sago if needed. Stir in ½ cup coconut milk and 2 tablespoons condensed milk. Refrigerate until chilled.
- Add mango pulp, remaining ¼ cup coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon condensed milk to a blender. Blend until smooth and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To serve, layer 2 tablespoons of mango mix and 2 tablespoons of sago mix in a dessert cup or bowl.
- Top with mango slices if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- You can substitute condensed milk with sugar or a dairy-free sweetener if preferred.
- Serve well chilled for the most refreshing texture and taste.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
