Ingredients
  

For the Tapioca Pearls
  • 1 cup Small Tapioca Pearls (Sago) Make sure to use small pearls for delightful chewy texture.

  • 3 cups Ripe Mangoes Choose mangoes that feel slightly soft for maximum sweetness.
  • 13.5 oz Coconut Milk (Full-Fat) Opt for canned coconut milk for a rich and creamy finish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for The Best Mango Sago
  1. Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup of small tapioca pearls (sago) once boiling, reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Carefully drain the sago in a fine-mesh sieve, rinsing under cold water for about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
  3. Peel and dice 3 cups of ripe mangoes. In a blender, blend 2 cups of diced mango with 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk until smooth, adding sugar or condensed milk to taste.
  4. In a mixing bowl, gently fold the chilled sago pearls into the mango-coconut puree. Adjust sweetness by adding extra coconut milk if desired.
  5. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Scoop the mango sago into serving bowls. Top with the reserved diced mango and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve chilled.
