Description

Creamy coconut milk blends beautifully with sweet mango sago pudding, creating a delightful dessert from Southeast Asia. Silky pearls and tropical flavors invite diners to savor this refreshing treat that delights palates with its cool, luxurious texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Australian mangoes
  • 3 regular mangoes
  • 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) mini tapioca pearls
  • 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) condensed milk
  • 6 cups (1.4 l / 48 fl oz) water

Instructions

  1. Tapioca Preparation: Simmer tapioca pearls in a pot over medium-low heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. After 10 minutes, remove from heat, cover, and let rest for 3 additional minutes.
  2. Pearl Finishing: Rinse cooked pearls under cool water, drain completely, and set aside at room temperature or in chilled water until ready to serve.
  3. Mango Processing: Dice ripe mangoes into uniform cubes, reserving half for blending and half for garnishing.
  4. Cream Blending: Combine mango chunks, condensed milk, and coconut milk in a blender, puréeing until achieving a smooth, uniform texture with no visible fruit fragments.
  5. Dessert Assembly: Fold drained tapioca pearls into the mango cream, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  6. Plating: Transfer the sago mixture into serving bowls, topping with reserved fresh mango cubes to create a visually appealing and textural dessert.

Notes

  • Prevent Sticking: Continuously stir tapioca pearls during cooking to avoid clumping and ensure even cooking at a gentle medium-low heat.
  • Perfect Resting Time: Allow cooked pearls to sit covered off the heat for 3 additional minutes to absorb residual warmth and achieve ideal texture.
  • Mango Selection Matters: Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for maximum sweetness and flavor intensity in the dessert.
  • Blending Technique: Blend mango mixture until completely smooth, eliminating any fruit chunks for a silky, consistent cream texture.
