Ingredients -
1/2 cup tapioca pearls
8.5 oz coconut cream (250 ml)
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium mangos
Coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions -
Boil Tapioca Pearls: Bring at least 7 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-30 minutes until the pearls are translucent. Stir frequently to prevent them from sticking.
Prepare Coconut Cream: While the tapioca is cooking, combine the coconut cream, honey, and vanilla extract in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the honey dissolves into the mixture. Set aside to cool.
Prepare Mangos: Puree the flesh of one mango using a food processor. Cut the other mango into cubes and slice a few thin strips or slices for garnish.
Cool Tapioca: Once the tapioca is ready, strain and rinse them under cold water. Transfer them into an airtight container, add the coconut cream mixture, and mix well. Let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
Assemble the Sago: When ready to serve, grab a glass and layer 3-4 spoonfuls of tapioca, followed by mango purée, and then cubed mango. Repeat the layers until the glass is full. Garnish with mango slices and coconut flakes if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
Mango Sago is a refreshing dessert that's both vegan and gluten-free, making it a perfect option for a light and satisfying treat on warm days. The combination of textures and flavors offers a delightful escape to the tropics with every spoonful.
