Mango Sago is a refreshing and creamy dessert combining chewy tapioca pearls, ripe mangoes, and a luscious mango coconut sauce. This chilled treat is perfect for warm days, featuring a delightful mix of textures and tropical flavors with optional coconut and mango jellies for added sweetness and bite.

Ingredients

Toppings

  • ¾ cup sago (small tapioca pearls)
  • 1 mango, cubed
  • 1 cup coconut jelly (optional)
  • 1 cup mango jelly (optional)

Mango Coconut Sauce

  • 2-3 large mangos (~2 lbs), peeled and diced
  • ½ cup evaporated milk, chilled
  • 3 tablespoons condensed milk (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk

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. Some tiny white centers remaining are okay. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 15 minutes or until the sago becomes fully translucent.
  2. Cool the sago: Strain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them thoroughly with cold water. Place the sago into a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking and set aside.
  3. Blend the mangos: Combine the diced mango and chilled evaporated milk in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine all ingredients: Drain the tapioca pearls and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed mango pieces, coconut jelly, mango jelly, condensed milk, and coconut milk. Pour in the mango mixture and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness with more condensed milk if desired, blending again to mix.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly or add ice cubes for immediate cooling. Serve in individual cups and enjoy this refreshing mango sago dessert.

Notes

  • For best texture, use small sago pearls.
  • Adjust condensed milk depending on the natural sweetness of the mangoes.
  • Optional jellies add extra texture but are not necessary.
  • Ensure sago is fully translucent for best chewiness.
  • This dessert can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
