Recipe from https://thewoksoflife.com/mango-sago/#recipe

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 30 mins

Total Time: 40 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup small-sized uncooked tapioca (about 60g)

• 3 ripe mangos (about 1 kg)

• 200 ml unsweetened coconut milk (1/2 of a 13.5 oz. can)

• 60 ml sweetened condensed milk (1/4 cup, or more to taste if you like it sweeter)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the mini pearl tapioca (don’t add it before the water is at a full boil!). Stir and bring it to boil again. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the tapioca is completely transparent, which means they’re fully cooked.

2. When the tapioca is cooked through, drain, rinse in cold water to cool, then soak in a bowl of cold water and set aside.

3. Meanwhile, peel the mango, trimming to remove the center pit. Set aside a large handful of nice chunks for topping. The rest will be blended.

4. In a blender, add the coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and mango. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a large bowl. At this stage, if you like your dessert cold, chill the mango mixture for at least an hour before adding the tapioca.

5. When you’re ready to serve, drain the cooked tapioca, and add to the mango mixture. Scoop into individual bowls and top with mango chunks.

it was really good, but what can go wrong with mango, condensed milk and coconut milk all together. it was also really easy to make, the hardest part if that really counts is the mini tapioca but it really isn’t that hard it just takes a bit of time and stirring. i had to cook mine for about 5-10 minutes longer until they were all opaque but other than that it was pretty easy. next time i will add some pomelo, i remember having that combination in asia and it was pretty good.
