Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (sago)
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste depending on mango sweetness)
- 2 cups coconut milk (or a combination of coconut milk and regular milk for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup water
- Ice cubes (optional, for chilling)
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh mango slices or cubes
- Fresh mint leaves
- Coconut cream or whipped cream
Instructions:
- Cook the Tapioca Pearls (Sago): a. Rinse the tapioca pearls (sago) under cold water to remove excess starch. b. In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rinsed tapioca pearls and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. c. Cook until the pearls turn translucent, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and adjust cooking time as needed. d. Once cooked, remove from heat, drain any excess water, and rinse the cooked pearls under cold water. Set aside.
- Prepare the Mango Puree: a. In a blender or food processor, blend the diced mangoes with sugar until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your mangoes and personal preference.
- Combine Mango Puree and Coconut Milk: In a mixing bowl, combine the mango puree with coconut milk. Stir well until fully incorporated. You can adjust the ratio of mango puree to coconut milk according to your taste preference.
- Assemble the Mango Sago Pudding: a. In serving bowls or glasses, layer the cooked tapioca pearls (sago) at the bottom. b. Pour the mango-coconut mixture over the tapioca pearls, filling the bowls/glasses almost to the top.
- Chill and Serve: a. Cover the bowls/glasses with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until the pudding is nicely chilled and set. b. You can also add a few ice cubes to speed up the chilling process if desired.
- Garnish and Enjoy: a. Before serving, garnish the Mango Sago Pudding with fresh mango slices or cubes on top. b. Optionally, add a dollop of coconut cream or whipped cream for extra creaminess, and decorate with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
- Serve Cold: Enjoy this refreshing Mango Sago Pudding cold as a delightful dessert on its own or as a sweet ending to a meal, especially during warm weather.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness and creaminess levels to suit your taste preferences. This dessert is not only delicious but also visually appealing, making it a favorite among mango lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike!
