  • Blend the mangoes, evaporated milk, and water until you achieve a smooth mango puree.
  • In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add the sago pearls and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with its lid. Let it sit for 15 minutes; the sago pearls should turn translucent. Drain the pearls using a strainer and rinse with cold water to remove any excess starch.

Notes

  • Use sweet, ripe mangoes. The sweeter your mango, the better the flavor!
  • Blend the mangoes thoroughly until smooth and creamy. This will ensure there are no fibers or chunky bits, giving your dessert the perfect texture.
  • Follow the recipe carefully for cooking the sago pearls—this step is key to getting them just right.
  • Let the dessert chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or longer) to get that cool, refreshing taste that makes this dessert so special.
