Ingredients

  • 80 g sago pearls see notes
  • 700 ml water
  • 2 medium-sized ripe mangoes 17oz / 500g
  • a pinch salt
  • 50 g white sugar
  • 150 ml fresh milk
  • 50 ml coconut milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil a pot of water. Add sago pearls and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring gently at first and more frequently towards the end to prevent sticking and burning. The exact cooking time can vary, so make sure to check the package for specific cooking times.
  2. When the sago pearls are cooked, turn off the heat and close the lid, cooling down the pearls and allowing them to absorb the remaining water.
  3. Peel your mango. Slice 400g/14oz of mango into big chunks for mixing. The remaining mango will be used for garnishing.
  4. In a blender, combine the large mango chunks, coconut milk, fresh milk, white sugar, and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
  5. Slice the reserved mango into small cubes for garnishing.
  6. To serve your mango coconut sago, pour the mango purée into bowls, add cooked sago pearls on top and garnish with mango cubes. Optionally, add a mint leaf for decoration. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Ripe mango - For making mango sago, the best mangoes to use are ones that are sweet, juicy, and ripe. Varieties like Alphonso, Honey (Ataulfo), and Keitt are excellent choices due to their rich flavor and smooth, firm flesh which blends well into a luscious purée.
  • Sago pearls - These are essential for making this coconut milk sago dessert. You can find them in almost any Asian supermarket, but be careful not to confuse them with tapioca pearls, which are larger.
