Recipe - Mango Sago

Mango sago

Mango sago is a Filipino dessert. This one is a fantastic cold dessert, especially for Mango lovers like myself.

The recipe is easy to make and also kids friendly, so you can include them in the process.

Here is a recipe that I found at Pinoy Food.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup small sago pearls
• 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups water
• 2/3 cups evaporated milk
• 6 tablespoons coconut cream
• 1 cup mango puree
• 2 mangoes, cubed

Directions:

1. Cooking the sago
• Soak sago pearls in water for 30 mins.
• Boil water in a saucepan and add the sago.
• Boil the sago cook for about 5 minutes.
• Cover the saucepan with a lid and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Run cold running water on the sago pearls to cool the sago and keep the sago from being overcooked.
• Drain the sago in a colander.
2. Dissolve the sugar with the water in a saucepan.
3. Cool the sugar-water mixture before adding the evaporated milk and mango puree. Stir well.
4. Add water or milk for the desired mango base consistency.
5. Add in the mango cubes and drained cooked sago.
6. Chill in the refrigerator.
7. Serve cold.

Note:

• Be careful when cooking the sago. Overcooking the sago pearls will ruin this dessert.
