Ingredients
For the Mango Sago Base:
- 2 large ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- ½ cup small sago pearls
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- ½ cup evaporated milk (or substitute with more coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk (adjust for sweetness)
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, if mangoes aren’t sweet enough)
For Garnishing (Optional):
- Extra diced mangoes
- Chia seeds or basil seeds
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Mint leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sago Pearls
-
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the sago pearls and stir to prevent clumping.
-
Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the pearls become translucent with a tiny white center.
-
Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the sago sit for 5 more minutes until fully transparent.
-
Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Mango Puree
-
In a blender, combine 1 ½ mangoes (reserve some for garnish), coconut milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and water.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Mango Sago
-
In a large bowl, mix the cooked sago pearls with the mango puree. Stir well to distribute evenly.
-
Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
-
Spoon the Mango Sago into serving bowls or glasses.
-
Top with extra diced mangoes, coconut flakes, or mint leaves for an extra refreshing touch.
-
Serve cold and enjoy!
