How to Make Mango Sago Pudding: A Complete Guide

Mango sago pudding is a beloved Asian dessert, loved for its creamy texture, tropical flavor, and refreshing taste. Here’s a simple yet detailed guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 100g sago pearls

- 2 ripe mangoes

- 400ml coconut milk (or fresh milk)

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Cook the Sago: Rinse sago under cold water. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add sago, and stir occasionally. Cook until translucent (about 15 minutes), then turn off the heat. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Mango: Peel and dice one mango into small cubes. Blend the second mango into a smooth puree.

3. Make the Base: In a saucepan, heat coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. Assemble: Layer half the sago in glasses or bowls. Add a layer of mango cubes and mango puree. Pour half the coconut milk mixture over the top. Repeat the layers. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for best results.

Tips: For extra richness, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving. Enjoy this creamy, dreamy dessert as a treat on a hot day!
