Instructions

Cook Tapioca Pearls: In a pot of boiling water, add the tapioca pearls. Cook according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the hot water and rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water. Leave them in a bowl of cold water until ready to serve.
Prepare the Mango Mixture: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small, juicy chunks. Reserve some for garnishing.
Blend Mango Puree: Blend the mango chunks with coconut and sweetened condensed milk into a smooth puree in a blender.
Combine Ingredients: Divide the cooked tapioca pearls into individual serving glasses. Pour the mango sago puree over each glass equally. Adjust sweetness according to your taste with more condensed milk.
Garnish and Serve: topped each glass with the reserved mango chunks and perhaps a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. That's it! Serve and enjoy your mango sago!

Notes

To achieve the best texture, cook the tapioca pearls in rolling, and boil water in very high heat until they're completely translucent with no small white dot in the center.
Room-temperature mangoes are easier to peel and dice. Plus, they'll blend into a smoother puree that looks like a mango smoothie.
If you prefer a vegan version, swap condensed milk with homemade simple or maple syrup.
Adjust the sweetness by gradually adding the condensed milk or simple syrup until it's just right for your taste buds.
