Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sago pearls (tapioca pearls)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) coconut cream
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sugar (or to taste)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse sago pearls under cold running water to remove excess starch and prepare for cooking.
- Boil water in a medium pot and add sago pearls, stirring gently to prevent clumping. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes until pearls turn completely translucent and soft.
- Drain cooked sago pearls using a fine-mesh strainer and immediately rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process and prevent further softening.
- Create a smooth mango puree by blending fresh mango chunks with coconut milk until completely uniform and creamy.
- Gradually incorporate sugar into the mango mixture, tasting and adjusting sweetness to personal preference.
- Gently fold cooked sago pearls into the mango-coconut blend, ensuring even distribution and a consistent texture.
- Transfer the dessert into serving bowls and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to achieve a perfectly chilled consistency.
- Optional: Garnish with extra mango cubes or add a few ice cubes just before serving for an ultra-refreshing experience.
Notes
- Rinse sago pearls thoroughly to remove excess starch, ensuring a clearer and less sticky texture.
- Cook sago pearls carefully, stirring frequently to prevent clumping and achieve a perfect translucent appearance.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the most intense and natural flavor profile in the dessert.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream with almond or oat milk alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs.
