Description

Mango Sago is a refreshing and creamy Asian dessert featuring sweet mango cubes, chewy sago pearls, and delicate coconut jelly combined in a rich coconut milk and condensed milk sauce. This chilled treat is perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day with its tropical flavors and smooth texture.

Ingredients

Sago Cooking

  • 1 cup uncooked sago
  • 6-7 cups water (for boiling sago)

Dessert Mix

  • 4-5 ripe mangoes, cubed
  • 13.5 oz full fat coconut milk
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz coconut jelly, drained
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Shaved coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: In a large pot, bring 6-7 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of uncooked sago pearls, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. Return to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes until the sago pearls turn translucent with white centers.
  2. Soak the sago: Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the sago to sit for 10-15 minutes until pearls are fully translucent and cooked through.
  3. Rinse the sago: Drain the cooked sago using a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove excess starch and prevent clumping. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Combine ingredients: To the bowl with sago, add the cubed mangoes, full fat coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and drained coconut jelly. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Chill the dessert: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, scoop the mango sago into serving dishes. Optionally, add ice cubes to keep it extra cold and garnish with shaved coconut on top. Serve immediately and enjoy this cool tropical treat!

Notes

  • Use a ratio of 1:6 sago to water when cooking to ensure sago pearls cook fully and evenly.
  • Rinsing the sago after cooking is essential to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • The dessert can be prepared ahead of time and kept chilled for up to 24 hours for convenient serving.
  • For a lighter version, you may substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut sugar syrup or reduce its quantity.
  • Ice cubes are optional but recommended to keep the dessert refreshingly cool when served.
