Mango Coconut Sago

Mango Coconut Sago is a delightful Thai dessert featuring chewy tapioca pearls combined with sweet coconut milk and ripe mango, creating a tropical flavor explosion. This refreshing treat is perfect for warm days and is entirely dairy-free.

Ingredients

• Tapioca pearls - 50 grams
• Water - 500 ml
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - a pinch
• Ripe mango - 1 medium (approximately 200 grams)
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh mint leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the rinsed tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. Cook the tapioca pearls for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Once cooked, remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the tapioca pearls sit for an additional 10 minutes to soften further.
5. In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not bring to a boil.
6. Peel and dice the ripe mango into small cubes, setting aside some for garnish.
7. Once the tapioca pearls are ready, drain them and rinse under cold water.
8. Combine the drained tapioca pearls with the sweetened coconut milk and stir well.
9. Add lime juice and diced mango to the mixture, and gently fold to combine.
10. Serve the Mango Coconut Sago in bowls, garnished with the reserved mango cubes and fresh mint leaves.
