Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sago (small tapioca pearls)
  • 2–3 large mangos (~2 lbs, peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk (chilled)
  • 3 tablespoon condensed milk (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)

Additional Ingredients (Optional)

  • 1 cup coconut jelly (optional)
  • 1 cup mango jelly (optional)
  • 1 mango (cubed) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sago tapioca pearls and cook until the pearls turn transparent, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. It’s acceptable if the pearls still have tiny white centers at this point. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit for another 15 minutes until the sago becomes fully translucent.
  2. Cool the sago: Strain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the sago into a bowl of cold water to prevent clumping. Set aside.
  3. Blend the mangos: Place the peeled and diced mango and chilled evaporated milk into a blender. Blend at high speed until you get a smooth and creamy mango mixture.
  4. Combine ingredients: Drain the sago pearls from the cold water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sago, chopped mango pieces, coconut jelly, mango jelly, condensed milk, and coconut milk. Pour in the blended mango mixture and gently mix everything together until well combined. Taste the dessert and adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk if desired, then blend again briefly to incorporate. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or add ice cubes to chill immediately.
  5. Serve: Spoon the chilled Mango Sago into individual-sized cups or bowls. Garnish with cubed mango pieces if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing tropical treat.

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse the cooked sago under cold water to prevent clumping.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of condensed milk.
  • Full-fat coconut milk gives a richer flavor, but you can substitute with light coconut milk for a lower-fat option.
  • The optional jellies add extra texture but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For best results, chill the dessert well before serving to enhance the flavors.
  • Sago cooking times may vary slightly depending on the brand; pearls should be translucent with a slight chew.
