Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sago or mini tapioca pearls
- 6 cups water
- 2 fresh mangos (preferably Australian mangoes)
- ½ cup condensed milk
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Start by bringing 6 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the sago pearls and cook for about 20 minutes.
- Drain the cooked sago pearls into a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the mangoes by peeling and chopping them; reserve some small chunks for garnish if desired.
- Make the cream base by combining the drained sago, condensed milk, and coconut milk in a large bowl, then fold in the mango.
- Chill the mixture by covering it with plastic wrap and placing it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Serve the sago in bowls or cups, topping with reserved mango chunks and toasted coconut for garnish.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute condensed milk with a coconut-based alternative. Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding a pinch of salt or citrus juice.
