Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sago pearls
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups water (for cooking sago)
- Cook the sago pearls: Rinse the sago pearls under cold water, then bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add the sago pearls and cook them on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.
- Prepare the mango mixture: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango with the coconut milk and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Combine sago with mango mixture: Add the cooked and cooled sago pearls to the mango and coconut milk mixture. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the mango sago dessert for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to become nicely chilled. Serve cold for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- You can adjust the sugar amount depending on your sweetness preference or the sweetness of the mangoes.
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Sago pearls may clump together after cooking, so rinse and stir to keep them separate.
