Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sago (small tapioca pearls)
- 1 mango (cubed)
- 2–3 large mangoes (~2 lbs, peeled and diced)
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (chilled)
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut jelly (optional)
- 1 cup mango jelly (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the sago: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sago pearls and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the pearls turn mostly transparent but may have tiny white centers, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for another 15 minutes until sago becomes fully translucent.
- Cool the sago: Drain the sago and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Then, transfer the pearls into a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Blend the mango: In a blender, combine the peeled and diced mangoes with the chilled evaporated milk. Blend at high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Combine all ingredients: Drain the tapioca from the cold water. In a large mixing bowl, mix the sago, cubed mango, coconut jelly, mango jelly, condensed milk, and coconut milk. Pour in the mango puree and stir until everything is well combined. Adjust sweetness with extra condensed milk if needed.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly. Alternatively, add ice cubes before serving. Serve in individual cups and enjoy this cool, tropical dessert.
Notes
- If you prefer a firmer sago texture, reduce cooking time slightly and adjust soaking time accordingly.
- Adjust condensed milk according to desired sweetness; you may substitute with honey or sugar syrup if preferred.
- The optional coconut jelly and mango jelly add extra texture and sweetness but can be omitted for a simpler version.
- This dessert is best served cold and consumed within 1-2 days for freshness.
