HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot and add the sago pearls.

02

Cook the sago for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pearls are mostly translucent with a tiny white dot in the center.

03

Drain the sago through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch.

04

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and evaporated milk, whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.

05

Place two-thirds of the diced mango into a blender and process until smooth, then stir the puree into the coconut milk mixture.

06

Fold the cooked sago pearls and the remaining one-third of the mango cubes into the coconut mixture.

07

Divide the pudding into serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pearls to fully absorb the liquid and reach an ideal chewy consistency.

Chef's Tips

For the best texture, ensure you rinse the sago thoroughly after boiling; if the water remains cloudy, keep rinsing until it runs clear to prevent the pudding from becoming overly gummy.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute canned coconut milk with coconut cream for a thicker, richer dessert, or use honey instead of sugar for a more floral sweetness.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; note that the sago will continue to absorb liquid over time, so you may need to add a splash of milk to loosen it before serving.
