mango tapioca pudding

This mango tapioca pudding is a refreshing summer dessert made with easy-to-find ingredients. This recipe serves 4 to 5 but you can easily double up the recipe to serve more people. I like adding sliced strawberries to the pudding for some tart flavor and color contrast. Longan or lychee work very well too. If you want a pure mango pudding, feel free to substitute the strawberries with more mango chunks.

Mango Tapioca Pudding (Mango Sago)

(1.9L) water

(155 grams) small tapioca pearls

(235 milliliters) whole or 2% milk

(175 milliliters) full-fat canned coconut milk

honey (divided, add more to taste)

mangoes

strawberries (see headnote)

Add the water to a pot or large saucepan and bring it to boil over high heat. DO NOT add the tapioca pearls when the water is still cold (see note 2). Reduce the heat slightly to medium-high and add the tapioca pearls. Give the pearls a quick stir. Cook the pearls for 15 minutes and turn off the heat. The pearls will be translucent around the exterior with solid white specks in the center. Cover the pot with a lid and let the pearls sit for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the pearls look completely translucent. It’s okay if a few pearls here and there still have tiny white specks in the center.

Drain the pearls and rinse them under cold water. Transfer them to a large bowl with cold tap water. Submerging the pearls completely in cold water helps them to cool faster and makes them less sticky. Let that sit while you prepare the other components of the tapioca pudding.

Cook Pearls

Add the milk and coconut milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Do not cover the saucepan with a lid because it’s very easy for the milk to boil over. Turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of honey. (See note 3 for the reasoning behind boiling the milk.) Let the milk cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

Slice a mango along the oblong pit in the center. Using the tip of your knife, make crosswise cuts inside the 2 mango slices to make cubes. Use your fingers to bend the mango slices so that the mango cubes protrude. Then, run the knife below the cubes to slice them off.

Take the piece of mango containing the central pit and use a paring knife to peel off the skin. Then, use the knife to cut off as much flesh from the pit as possible. I generally use the flesh around the pit for the mango puree.

Measure 1 1/4 cups (225 grams) of mango flesh and transfer it to the bowl of a high-speed blender. Add the warmed milk to the blender. Blend everything until smooth. Pour the mango puree into a large bowl.

Prepare Mango Puree

Drain the tapioca pearls and drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey over the pearls. Toss to coat the pearls with the honey. Add the tapioca pearls to the bowl with the mango puree and stir. Next, add the remaining mango cubes/chunks and sliced strawberries to the bowl. Stir to combine. Taste the mango tapioca pudding and add more honey, if necessary.

Chill the mango tapioca pudding for at least 2 hours before serving.

Coconut milk

Condensed milk (1/4 cup)

Whole milk, to serve

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat

Add the sago and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes or until the sago is almost fully transparent

Cover and turn off the heat, let the sago sit for 10 minutes or until it's fully transparent

Drain the sago through a fine mesh sieve and rinse with cold water, set it aside

Peel the mangoes, cut off the mango flesh and remove the pit

In a blender combine half the mango, coconut milk, and condensed milk, and blend until it forms a smooth mango puree

Cut the remaining mango into large chunks

Divide the cooked tapioca pearls and mango mixture between 4 glasses or bowls, and top with chunks of mango (optionally you can also add toppings like coconut jelly!)

This came out perfectly. Thank you very much
