Mango Sago
Ingredients
- Frozen mango, to taste
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 120g sago (tapioca pearls)
- A splash of vanilla extract
- A good pinch of salt
- Plenty of water, for boiling
Instructions
-
Add the frozen mango, coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, then refrigerate while you prepare the sago.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Use significantly more water than sago.
-
Add the sago to the boiling water and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Gently boil over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until mostly translucent with just a small white dot remaining in the centre.
-
Turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the sago to sit in the hot water for a further 10 to 15 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking them until completely clear.
-
Drain the sago through a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process.
-
Fold the rinsed sago into the chilled mango base. Divide evenly into 6 glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve.
