Description
Mango Sago Coconut Dessert is a refreshing and creamy treat made with tapioca pearls, ripe mangoes, and coconut milk, perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup small tapioca pearls (sago)
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook according to package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until they become translucent.
- Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooked tapioca pearls with the coconut milk mixture. Stir in the diced mangoes, reserving some for topping.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve in bowls, topped with extra mango pieces and a sprig of mint.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the coconut mixture before chilling!
