Mango sago gained popularity in dessert cafés across Hong Kong, where tropical fruits are paired with coconut and tapioca pearls to create chilled, creamy desserts. Its light texture and natural sweetness make it especially suited for warm weather.
½ cup sago (tapioca pearls) 1 ripe mango, diced ½ cup coconut milk ½ cup milk or water 2 tablespoons sugar A pinch of salt
Cook sago in boiling water until the pearls turn translucent, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Blend half the mango with coconut milk, sugar and salt into a smooth mixture.
Combine cooked sago with the mango base and adjust consistency with milk or water.
Fold in diced mango pieces for texture.
Chill before serving for the best flavour and consistency.
