Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 cup sago pearls
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 handful mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the sago pearls. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sago pearls, stirring gently to avoid sticking.
Allow the sago to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pearls are translucent with a small white dot in the center.
Once cooked, drain the sago pearls using a fine mesh strainer and rinse them with cold water to remove any excess starch.
Set the sago pearls aside in a bowl of cold water until needed to prevent them from sticking together.
Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the seeds. Cut one and a half mangoes into small cubes and set aside.
Take the remaining half mango and blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
In a large bowl, combine the sago pearls, mango cubes, mango puree, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, prepare 2 cups of ice cubes and mix them into the chilled mango sago mixture to add a refreshing chill.
Ladle the mango sago into serving bowls or glasses.
Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for a touch of aroma and color before serving.
