Ingredients
- 3 ripe champagne (yellow) mangoes
- 1/4 cup uncooked small tapioca or sago pearls
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (or sugar to taste)
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk (or your choice of milk)
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk (unsweetened)
Instructions
- Boil at least 6 cups of water in a pot. Add 3 tbsp of uncooked tapioca pearls. Simmer until the pearls are almost fully translucent, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the pearls boil, peel and slice the mangoes around the seed. Dice one mango into chunks for topping and set aside.
- After 15 minutes, strain the tapioca pearls and rinse them in cold water. Let them sit in a bowl of water to prevent hardening.
- Put the remaining two sliced mangoes into a blender. Add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness with more condensed milk or consistency with more evaporated milk. The mixture should be slightly sweet.
- Drain the tapioca pearls. Shake the can of coconut milk and mix it with the tapioca pearls.
- For layering, add the blended mango mixture to a glass, then top with the tapioca and coconut milk mixture. Alternatively, mix all ingredients together.
- Top with the diced mango cubes. Mix well and enjoy. For best results, chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness and creaminess by adding more condensed milk or evaporated milk respectively.
- Chilling the dessert before serving enhances the flavor and texture.
