Ingredients

  • ½ cup small sago pearls - or tapioca pearls
  • 1 liter water - for boiling
  • cup sugar
  • 1 cup coconut cream or coconut milk
  • 3 big ripe mangoes - peeled and cut into cubes

Instructions

  • In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to boil. Add the small sago pearls and cook for 15 minutes or until translucent. (Check package instructions.) Stir occasionally to prevent from sticking together.  
  • Turn off heat and strain the sago pearls using a fine sieve. Rinse thoroughly until the sago pearls are no longer hot to touch. Transfer to a bowl and soak in little water. 
  • Reserve about a cup of the mango cubes for later as toppings. Place the remaining in a blender. Add sugar and pulse on high speed until it turns into a smooth puree.
  • Drain water from the cooked sago pearls and transfer in a larger bowl. Add the mango puree and coconut cream and mix with a spoon or spatula until well blended. 
  • Divide the mango sago into 6-8 serving bowls and top each with the reserved mango cubes. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
