Allergens

Coconut (in coconut milk)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pearl sago (tapioca pearls)
  • 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup agave syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the pearl sago according to package instructions until tender but not mushy. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. In another saucepan, combine coconut milk, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
  3. In individual serving glasses or bowls, layer the cooked pearl sago and diced mangoes. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring each portion has an equal distribution of sago, mango, and coconut milk.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to perfect pearl sago lies in cooking it just right - neither too soft nor too hard. Rinsing under cold water after cooking helps prevent overcooking and gives it the desired chewy texture.

Notes

This recipe is perfect for a vegan diet, as it uses plant-based ingredients like pearl sago and coconut milk.
