    Coconut Mango Sago Dessert Soup

    Coconut Mango Sago Dessert Soup.  It's a delicious vegan Asian dessert soup that is light, refreshing and very easy to make!  

    The sweet light coconut milk combined with nut or oat milk (my twist) along with diced mango and soft tapioca (sago) makes this dessert soup one of a kind!

    My mango sago coconut milk dessert is not overly sweet like ice cream or other desserts, it's the perfect level of sweetness in my opinion.  

    All you need for this coconut mango sago recipe are: tapioca pearls, lite coconut milk (not the whole fat kind), vanilla almond or oat milk, Chinese rock sugar or maple syrup, mangoes, water and fresh mint for garnish.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for my coconut mango sago pudding:

    • ¼ cup of small tapioca pearls
    • 400 ml Lite Organic Coconut Milk do not use regular whole fat coconut milk
    • 125 ml Vanilla Plant-Based Milk of Choice
    • 2-3 tbsp of Chinese Rock Sugar or Maple Syrup
    • 2 mangoes peeled and diced
    • 3 cups water
    • Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

    I'm using Thai Kitchen Organic Lite Coconut Milk, So Fresh Sweetened Almond Vanilla Milk, small tapioca pearls, fresh organic mango, and Chinese Rock Sugar (that you can find in the Asian grocer).  Make sure the coconut milk you buy isn't the regular whole fat version where the fat content is 100%, making the milk very thick or you will have to water it down with more almond milk or water.  

    How to make coconut mango sago dessert

    1. In a small pot, pour your coconut and plant based milk in.  Add rock sugar or maple syrup. Bring to a boil and then let this simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes until sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Do not cover.  Set aside and allow this to cool in fridge.
    2. Meanwhile in an another small pot filled with 3 cups of water, bring this to a boil. Add tapioca pearls. Boil for 15 minutes until tapioca is clear.  Strain in a strainer with cool tap water running over it. Leave it submerged in cold water until ready for usage. This prevents the sago from drying out.
    3. Peel and dice mangoes.
    4. Once the coconut milk has cooled, add in tapioca. 
    5. Serve milk sago soup separate from mango. Allow guests to add in the desired amount of mango. Garnish with mint. Enjoy!

    What is tapioca?

    Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava root. It consists of almost pure carbs and contains very little protein, fiber, or nutrients. Tapioca has become popular recently as a gluten-free alternative to wheat and other grains [Source: Healthline].

    It’s commonly used in Asian desserts and it possesses a wonderful soft chewy texture. They are also sooo cute!

    Where I can buy tapioca pearls?

    You can usually source it at most Asian grocers in the dessert aisle or purchase it online from the link below. The one you want to look for are the tiny ones not the big brown ones.

    On a personal note

    Hope you had a great weekend. If you're in Canada and in the right province, you might be enjoying the Family Day Holiday today.  I'm also celebrating Chinese New Year in addition to that.  Two days ago my family and I had our CNY celebration and funny enough my mom somehow had an extra turkey, so she roasted that along with other Chinese traditional dishes like shiitake mushrooms over boiled lettuce or this special soup that takes a long time to prepare.  The best part of it all was spending time with family, sitting around each other sharing a good laugh.

    • 2-3 tbsp Chinese Rock Sugar (can be found at Asian grocers)
    • 2 mangoes peeled and diced
    • 3 cups water
    • Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

    Notes

    Storage Tip: If there are leftovers to store in the fridge, keep the mango and the coconut sago soup in separate containers.  If you combine the mango and milk together, it'll cause the milk to go sour.
