Cooking Instructions
Cook the small tapioca pearls according to the package instructions (about 15 to 20 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
Peel and chop the ripe mangoes, then blend them with half of the full-fat coconut milk until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked tapioca pearls and the mango puree. Add the remaining coconut milk and mix gently.
Sweeten the mixture with sugar to taste and ensure it is well incorporated.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Once chilled, scoop the Mango Sago into bowls or glasses and garnish with chopped mint leaves before serving.
For an added touch of sweetness, serve with a drizzle of honey. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
