Description
This sweet and creamy mango sago dessert blends ripe mangoes with chewy sago pearls and rich coconut milk for a refreshing tropical treat. Served chilled, it is perfect for warm days or as a light, satisfying dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sago pearls
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sago pearls and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent.
- Drain and rinse the cooked sago under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, coconut milk, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sago pearls with the mango mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled, topped with ice cubes if desired. Garnish with extra mango chunks or coconut flakes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.
- For a dairy-free version, replace evaporated milk with additional coconut milk.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Stir before serving as the sago may settle at the bottom.
