Description

Silky creamy mango sago pudding blends Philippine tropical sweetness with delicate pearl textures. Chilled dessert brings refreshing comfort through smooth mango cream and translucent tapioca pearls you’ll savor slowly.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Australian mangoes (fresh, or 3 regular mangoes)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) mini tapioca pearls
  • 6 cups (1.4 L) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Pearl Preparation: Gently simmer tapioca pearls in a large pot of water over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for ten minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and let rest for three minutes.
  2. Pearl Refinement: Drain pearls in a colander, rinsing thoroughly with cool water to stop cooking and remove excess starch, ensuring a clean, smooth texture.
  3. Mango Transformation: Dice mangoes precisely, separating half for blending. Combine blending portion with condensed milk and coconut milk in a high-powered blender, processing until achieving a silky, uniform puree.
  4. Fusion and Assembly: Fold the cooked tapioca pearls delicately into the creamy mango mixture, maintaining the pearls’ delicate structure. Transfer the combined dessert into serving vessels.
  5. Garnish and Presentation: Crown the creamy mango sago with reserved fresh mango cubes, creating a visually stunning and texturally rich dessert that promises a harmonious blend of flavors and temperatures.

Notes

  • Prevent Starch Clumping: Stir tapioca pearls continuously during cooking to avoid sticky, uneven texture and ensure smooth, separate pearls.
  • Blending Technique: Use high-powered blender to create silky-smooth mango puree, eliminating fruit chunks for a luxurious, consistent dessert base.
  • Mango Selection: Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness without excessive added sugar.
  • Cooling Crucial: Rinse cooked sago pearls with cool water immediately to stop cooking process and remove excess starch, maintaining ideal pearl texture.
