Scale

Fruits and Base:

  • 2 ripe mangoes

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp white sugar

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare a medium pot with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add sago pearls to the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook for 10-12 minutes until translucent with a small white dot in the center.
  3. Drain sago pearls in a fine-mesh strainer and immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking process.
  4. Peel and dice mangoes into uniform small cubes, reserving some slices for garnish.

  6. Gently fold cooked sago pearls into the milk mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Incorporate diced mango pieces into the sago-milk blend, stirring carefully to maintain pearl integrity.
  8. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to enhance flavor melding and achieve a refreshing temperature.
  9. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  10. Before serving, fold whipped cream into the chilled mango sago mixture.
  11. Garnish with reserved mango slices and serve cold in individual dessert glasses.

Notes

  • Sago Perfection: Stir pearls consistently during boiling to prevent clumping and ensure even, translucent cooking.
  • Temperature Control: Rinse sago immediately with cold water to halt cooking and maintain delicate pearl texture.
  • Milk Mixture Magic: Whisk dairy ingredients thoroughly to create a silky, well-integrated base that enhances overall dessert smoothness.
  • Cream Technique: Whip heavy cream just until soft peaks form to maintain light, airy consistency without becoming too stiff.
