Ingredients
- 3 large mangos fully ripe (about 750 grams or 1.7 lbs worth of mangos)
- ½ cup tapioca pearls small uncooked kind (do not use minute tapioca)
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk (for a vegan alternative, replace with condensed coconut milk)
- 13.5 floz coconut milk whole fat at room temperature
Optional Garnish
- fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- In a medium size pot of water (about 5 cups of water), bring to a boil on high heat. Once the hot water reaches boiling point, add tapioca pearls. Reduce to medium heat or to a rolling boil, boil for 10 minutes uncovered. Stir occasionally.
- Then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for another 10 minutes until the pearls have softened and are completely translucent. If you see a small white dot in the center of the pearls, let them sit in the hot water covered for another 2-3 minutes to become fully translucent.
- Strain the cooked pearls in a fine mesh sieve and rinse off the excess starch with cold running water until cool to touch. Then strain out excess water. Transfer cold tapioca to a large bowl.
- Open canned coconut milk with a can opener to remove the lid and give it a thorough mix inside the can so the fats combine with the coconut water.
- Combine the coconut milk with the tapioca and mix well. This is your sago mixture. Set aside.
- Next peel and slice 2 large mangos removing the pit. Reserve the remaining mango for later as a topping.
- Place peeled mango pieces into a blender or food processor with condensed milk. Blend until smooth. If the components get stuck, turn off the blender and use a blender stick or spatula to loosen it so it can blender properly.
- Divide mango mixture among 4 dessert bowls or glasses.
- Peel the remaining mango and dice the mango flesh into 1-cm cubes. Or see expert tips on how to easily dice mango.
- Divide the coconut sago mixture into 4 equal portions and pour on top of the mango layer in each serving. Top off with the cubed mangos. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and enjoy cold! Alternatively, you can mix everything together in a large bowl and divide into small portions but you won't get the layered effect.
