How to make Mango sago with Coconut milk?
The original version of this drink only requires a few ingredients like cooked sago pearls, ripe mangoes, condensed milk or any sweetener, and coconut milk. All you need is to cook the sago pearls until they are translucent, drain, and cool them. Blend the coconut milk, condensed milk, or any other sweetener that you like to use and stir in the cooked sago. Chill and serve with chopped mangoes or any other toppings that you like.
You can get creative and add any toppings like mango jelly, mango ice cream, pistachios or nuts, or even soaked basil seeds. Those folks not fond of coconut milk can replace it with regular milk and it would still taste great.
I had recently made mango jelly and ice cream at home with the extra ripe mangoes as my kids are on a break from college and it is fun to cook and pamper them when they are around. I couldn't resist adding the jelly and ice cream to my version of the mango sago with coconut milk drink. It sure is a winner and turned out delicious. Don't forget to chill and add ice cubes before serving.
