Mango Sago

Mangoes: 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced Sago Pearls: 1/2 cup Coconut Milk: 1 cup (or evaporated milk) Water: 4 cups (for cooking sago) Sugar: 1/4 cup (adjust to taste) Condensed Milk: 1/4 cup (optional, for extra sweetness and creaminess) Ice Cubes: 1 cup (optional, for serving chilled)

Ingredient

Mango Pulp: 1/2 cup (for a richer mango flavor) Mint Leaves: For garnish Tapioca Pearls: Substitute or mix with sago pearls for variation Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (for added flavor)

Optional Addition

Boil Water: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Cook Sago: Add the sago pearls to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the sago pearls turn translucent with a small white dot in the center. Rinse and Drain: Once cooked, drain the sago pearls and rinse them under cold running water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

Step 1: Prepare the Sago Pearls 

Dice the Mangoes: Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes. Reserve a portion for garnish if desired. Blend the Mango Pulp: If using, blend 1/2 cup of mango pulp until smooth. This step is optional but adds a richer mango flavor to the dessert. Mix Coconut Milk and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and condensed milk (if using). Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 2: Prepare the Mango and Coconut Milk Base

Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked sago pearls and diced mangoes (and mango pulp if using) to the coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill. You can also add ice cubes before serving for an extra refreshing treat.

Step 3: Combine and Chill

Garnish and Serve: Serve the Mango Sago in individual bowls or glasses. Garnish with reserved mango cubes and mint leaves for a fresh touch. Enjoy: Enjoy your Mango Sago chilled for the best taste and texture
