Ingredients
Scale
Sago Pearls
- 3/4 cup sago (small tapioca pearls)
Fruit and Jellies
- 1 Mango (cubed)
- 1 cup coconut jelly (optional)
- 1 cup mango jelly (optional)
- 2–3 large mangos (~2 lbs, peeled and diced)
Liquid Ingredients
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (chilled)
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
Instructions
- Cook the sago: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sago pearls and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn mostly transparent, about 15 minutes. It’s acceptable if tiny white centers remain in the pearls. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 15 minutes until fully translucent.
- Cool the sago: Drain the cooked sago through a strainer and rinse under cold water thoroughly. Transfer the sago pearls into a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Blend the mangoes: In a blender, combine peeled mango chunks with chilled evaporated milk. Blend at high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine ingredients: Drain the sago pearls from the cold water. In a large mixing bowl, add the sago, cubed mango pieces, coconut jelly, mango jelly, condensed milk, coconut milk, and the mango-evaporated milk blend. Mix well until all components are evenly incorporated. Adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk if desired, blending again until smooth. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or serve immediately with ice for a cooler dessert.
- Serve: Portion the chilled Mango Sago into individual cups or bowls. Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing tropical treat!
Notes
- Cooking times for sago may vary; ensure pearls turn translucent but not overcooked.
- Optional jellies add extra texture but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Adjust condensed milk according to sweetness preference.
- Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Can be made a few hours ahead and chilled to develop flavors.
