Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sago pearls
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the sago pearls under cold water in a fine mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the sago pearls to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium.
Cook the sago, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they turn translucent with a small white dot in the center.
Turn off the heat and cover the saucepan. Let the sago pearls sit for an additional 5 minutes to fully cook through.
Drain the cooked sago in cold water to stop further cooking and to remove excess starch. Set aside.
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes, and blend one of the mangoes into a puree using a blender or food processor.
In a large bowl, combine the mango puree, unsweetened coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the cooled sago pearls to the mango mixture and gently stir to combine.
Fold in the diced mango pieces carefully to maintain their shape.
Chill the mango sago in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve the sugar-free mango sago in bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
