This Creamy Mango Sago dessert is a luscious and refreshing treat made with just four simple ingredients: sago pearls, fresh mangoes, condensed milk, and coconut milk. Perfectly creamy with juicy mango chunks, this Asian-inspired dessert is easy to prepare and gluten-free, making it an ideal choice for a quick, satisfying snack or sweet finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Sago Pearls

  • 1 cup sago or mini tapioca pearls
  • 6 cups water

Mango Mixture

  • 2 fresh Australian mangoes or 3 regular mangoes, peeled and cut into cubes
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sago: In a pot, add 1 cup of sago pearls and 6 cups of water. Bring to a medium-low heat and cook for 10 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent the pearls from sticking to the bottom.
  2. Rest the Sago: After 10 minutes, cover the pot with a lid, turn the heat off, and let the pearls sit for 3 minutes to finish cooking.
  3. Rinse and Drain: Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold running water to stop cooking. If serving immediately, set the pearls aside; otherwise, keep them submerged in cold water until ready to serve.
  4. Prepare Mango Blend: Place half of the mango cubes into a blender. Add the condensed milk and coconut milk, then blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine and Serve: Gently fold the drained tapioca pearls into the mango mixture. Serve in bowls topped with the remaining fresh mango cubes for a vibrant and refreshing finish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk based on your preference.
  • Leave the tapioca pearls in cold water to keep them from sticking if not serving immediately.
  • For a lighter version, use light coconut milk instead of full fat.
  • Ensure to stir constantly while cooking the sago to prevent clumping and burning.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
