Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sago (small tapioca pearls)
- 1 mango (cubed)
- 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)
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 tapioca pearls and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent, about 15 minutes. Some pearls may still have tiny white centers, which is acceptable. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 15 minutes until fully translucent.
- Cool the sago: Strain the sago pearls and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Then, place the cooked tapioca in a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Blend the mangos: In a blender, combine the diced mango and chilled evaporated milk. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the ingredients: Drain the sago pearls. In a large mixing bowl, add the sago, cubed mango, coconut jelly, mango jelly, condensed milk, and coconut milk. Pour in the blended mango mixture and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk if desired. Mix again to incorporate.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or serve immediately with ice cubes to chill. Portion into individual cups and enjoy this luscious dessert.
Notes
- Sago pearls vary in size; smaller ones cook faster and result in a more delicate texture.
- Adjust the amount of condensed milk depending on the sweetness of your mangoes and personal taste.
- Using full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess, but you can use light coconut milk for a lighter version.
- The optional coconut and mango jelly add texture; omit them if unavailable.
- For extra cold dessert, add ice cubes or refrigerate longer before serving.
