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
- 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.
- Pearl Finishing: Rinse cooked pearls under cool water, drain completely, and set aside at room temperature or in chilled water until ready to serve.
- Mango Processing: Dice ripe mangoes into uniform cubes, reserving half for blending and half for garnishing.
- 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.
- Dessert Assembly: Fold drained tapioca pearls into the mango cream, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- 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.
