  • 1/2 cup water for blending mango
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Crushed ice or ice cubes optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Cook the Sago
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sago pearls. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the sago turns mostly translucent (some white dots in the center are fine).
  • Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the sago sit for another 5 minutes to finish cooking.
  • Strain the sago and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

  • Peel and dice the mangoes, reserving some pieces for garnish.
  • Blend the mango chunks with 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Set aside.
  • Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, condensed milk, and salt. Stir well to mix.
  • Add the cooked sago and mango puree to the coconut milk mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more condensed milk.
  • Step 4: Chill and Serve
  • Chill the Mango Sago mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  • To serve, spoon the dessert into individual bowls or glasses. Top with diced mango and crushed ice if desired.
