COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Mango Purée:
Peel and slice two ripe mangoes. Scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a blender.
Add ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk (or sweetened condensed coconut milk for a vegan option).
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Cook the tapioca pearls:
On a stovetop, bring 1.5 to 2 liters of water to a boil.
Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
After 10 minutes, most of the white centers in the pearls should be gone.
Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the tapioca rest for 15 minutes until the pearls become completely translucent.
Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Drain off the cold water completely.
Transfer the tapioca pearls to a bowl and mix them with 1 cup of coconut cream until well combined.
Assemble the Dessert:
In a serving bowl, add the tapioca pearls mixed with coconut cream.
Pour in the mango purée you prepared earlier and gently mix it together.
Top with a drizzle of additional coconut cream and fresh mango chunks for extra flavor and texture.
Stir, serve, and enjoy this refreshing Coconut Mango Sago Dessert!
