.....The Perfect and Delicious Summer Dessert.....
Description
Mango sago is a refreshing Cantonese dessert made with fresh mangoes and small tapioca pearls.
It's the perfect light and fruity pudding or drink, and so easy to make at home with only 4 ingredients and a blender!
It is a type of tong sui (literal translation: sugar water), a sweet soup or custard served hot or cold at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine.
Mango sago is made by blending together fresh mangoes, coconut milk and condensed milk and then adding tiny tapioca pearls or sago.
It is also common to add pomelo granules on top as a mango pomelo sago. The tapioca thickens the soup up and adds a fun bubbly texture to each bite.
These small tapioca pearls are not chewy, unlike large tapioca pearls in bubble tea or boba. Instead, they have a soft, jelly texture that melts away in your mouth.
It is such a quick and easy dessert to make that also looks delicious and inviting.
