What Is Mango Sago?
Mango sago is super easy to make, and only requires a handful of ingredients!
Essentially, you just need to blend together some mango, coconut milk, and condensed milk until it reaches a smooth consistency, before mixing it with cooked sago.
Top it off with some cut mangoes for a sweeter flavor! I even like to add on some coconut flakes as the texture pairs amazingly well.
Creamy Mango Sago Dessert
It’s a dessert that’s enjoyed all across Asia, such as the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia. And it’s thought to originate from Hong Kong.
In fact, a popular variation of the Cantonese dessert is to add on some pomelo bits on top to make a mango pomelo sago.
Ingredients You’ll Need
(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)
- Sago/small tapioca pearls: You can get these from your local Asian grocer, or I’ve linked it as well. Once cooked, the sago will turn clear and have a soft, chewy, and jelly-like texture.
- Water
- Mangoes: Ripe mangoes are the best for this dessert as they’ll be deliciously sweet.
- Condensed milk: The sweetener for this dessert.
- Coconut milk
- Coconut flakes (optional)
how to make mango sago dessert pudding
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and once it’s boiling, add the sago. Let it cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the sago is cooked, turn off heat and cover with a lid and leave for another 10 minutes. Drain the sago after 10 minutes and rinse with water until cool to touch then transfer to a container.
- While the sago is cooking, cut 1 mango and transfer to a blender. Add coconut milk and condensed milk to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the mango mixture into the container with the sago and mix well. Optional step but highly recommend to let it cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Dice the other mango for the topping.
- To assemble, pour the mango sago into serving containers. Optional step, pour a layer of coconut milk on top. Add the diced mangoes on top with some coconut flakes. Enjoy!
Notes For mango sago dessert pudding
- The amount of condensed milk you add depends on the sweetness/ripeness of your mango. Adjust accordingly.
- Keep in mind that once the mango mixture is mixed with the sago, it will make it less sweet. Hence, it’s okay for the mango mixture to be sweeter than you would prefer prior to mixing with sago. Adjust accordingly.
