Ingredients

Scale

Sago Ingredients

  • 1 cup sago/small tapioca pearls
  • 6 cups water

Mango Mixture

  • 1.5 ripe mangoes
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk

Toppings (Optional)

  • Coconut flakes
  • Diced mango (from 1 mango)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add 1 cup of sago pearls and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Let sago rest: After cooking, turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the sago sit for another 10 minutes. Drain the sago and rinse with cool water until no longer sticky and cool to the touch. Transfer to a container.
  3. Prepare mango mixture: While the sago is cooking, peel and cut 1 mango and place the pieces in a blender. Add 1 cup coconut milk and 1/4 cup condensed milk. Blend until smooth.
  4. Combine sago and mango puree: Pour the mango mixture into the container with the cooled sago pearls and mix well. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
  5. Prepare toppings: Dice the remaining half mango for topping. Optionally, toast or prepare coconut flakes.
  6. Assemble and serve: Spoon the mango sago pudding into serving containers. Optionally, add a light drizzle or layer of coconut milk on top, then garnish with diced mango and coconut flakes. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk depending on the sweetness of your mango to achieve desired sweetness.
  • Since mixing the mango mixture with sago mellows sweetness, it’s fine for the mango puree to be sweeter than preferred before mixing.
  • Refrigeration for at least 30 minutes enhances the texture and flavor melding.
