Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams sago pearls
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 750 milliliters water
- 5 leaves mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the sago pearls under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring 750 milliliters of water to a boil and add the sago pearls.
Stir the sago occasionally to prevent sticking, cooking for about 15 minutes until they turn translucent.
Once cooked, drain the sago in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Peel and dice the mangoes. Reserve some mango cubes for garnish and puree the rest in a blender until smooth.
In a separate saucepan, combine 400 milliliters of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, lime zest, and a pinch of salt.
Gently heat the coconut milk mixture over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not bring it to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the mango puree, mixing well.
Add the cooked and cooled sago pearls into the mango-coconut mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Before serving, garnish each serving with the reserved mango cubes and a mint leaf. Optionally, Sprinkle additional lime zest on top for extra fragrance.
