Learn to make this simple yet delicious Mango Sago dessert that is restaurant-worthy. Full of mango and coconut goodness studded with yummy sago pearls.


It is a very straightforward dessert to make. Like making mango smoothie with the added bonus of sago pearls. Cooking the sago is the only part that requires a bit of work, the rest is easy-peasy.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup small sago pearls - - or tapioca pearls
  • 1 liter water - - for boiling
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 3 big ripe mangoes - - peeled and cut into cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 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.  
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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. 
  5. 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.
