Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.65 lbs mangos fully ripe (the amount includes the weight of the mango seed and peel)
  • ½ cup tapioca pearls small uncooked kind (do not use minute tapioca)
  • ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk or sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 13.5 floz coconut milk whole fat kind
  • fresh mint leaves optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a medium-size pot with 5 cups (1250 ml) water and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat, add tapioca pearls, and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat, cover and rest for 10-15 minutes on the heat source, until the pearls are fully translucent.
  • Strain the tapioca with a fine mesh sieve. Rinse off the excess starch with cold running water. Then strain again and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the coconut milk to the tapioca and mix until fully combined. (If the coconut milk was chilled, stir it first to recombine the fat and liquid, breaking up any solid pieces before adding it to the tapioca).
  • Peel, de-pit, and slice only two mangos and transfer them into a blender with condensed milk. Then blend until smooth and set aside.
  • For the remaining mango: slice off the wide sides as close to the pit as possible, score the flesh into 1-cm cubes, then scoop them out with a large spoon and set aside.
  • Divide the mango mixture between four dessert bowls or glasses. Then divide and pour the coconut sago mixture over the mango mixture. Next, top off with cubed mangos. (Alternatively, you can also mix everything except the mint in a large bowl and serve). Garnish with fresh mint and enjoy cold!
