Ingredients
- water
- ¼ cup small tapioca pearls
- 5 mangoes
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup sugar
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, bring water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls and cook, stirring regularly, for about 7 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover. Let tapioca pearls stand in hot water until translucent and cooked through.
- In a colander, rinse cooked sago under cold running water to remove excess starch. Drain well and let cool completely. This would be about 1 cup cooked sago.
- Peel mangoes and cut flesh from pits. Cube the flesh of four mangoes. Dice the flesh of the remaining 1 mango and set aside to use as garnish.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cubed mango flesh from the 4 mangoes, coconut milk, and sugar. Process until smooth and thick.
- Combine mango puree and sago. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Divide mango sago into serving bowls and garnish with diced mangoes. Serve immediately.

Notes
- If the mangoes are particularly stringy and fibrous, strain the pureed fruit through a fine mesh sieve.
