Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe mangos
- 100 g small tapioca pearls
- Water
- 250 ml full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp sugar or agave syrup
Optional Toppings
- 100 ml full-fat coconut milk (for topping)
- Roasted coconut flakes
- Fresh mango pieces
Instructions
Make the tapioca pearls
- Soak the tapioca pearls in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Cook the tapioca pearls in boiling water until transparent (usually takes 10-15 minutes). Note: Don't add the tapioca pearls until the water starts boiling. Mix frequently to avoid sticking.
- After 10-15 minutes, if the tapioca pearls become more transparent but have a white circle inside, cover the lid, turn off the heat and let them sit for 5 minutes. After that, check if the pearls are more transparent.Β
- Once the pearls are fully transparent, rain and rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water and set aside.
Make the mango sauce
- Cut the mangos into cubes (save some slices for topping later). Put the mango cubes into a blender, add coconut milk and sugar. Blend until smooth then set aside.
- Combine the mango sauce and tapioca pearls in a big bowl. This mixture will be the mango sago.
- In a jar or a glass, add the mango sago and the coconut milk for topping on top. Enjoy right away or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Top with fresh mango pieces and coconut flakes.
Notes
Adjust the sugar depending on how sweet your mango is.
The dessert is best served at cool or cold temperature.
