Instructions
-
Cook the Sago Pearls
Prepare the sago pearls according to the package instructions. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together or clumping at the bottom.

Stop the Cooking Process
Once fully translucent and cooked through, immediately transfer the sago pearls to an ice bath to halt the cooking and maintain their chewy texture.

Add Coconut Milk
Drain the sago from the ice bath and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pour in coconut milk and gently stir to combine. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Make the Mango Purée
Scoop out the flesh of a ripe mango and place it in a blender. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth and creamy.
