And finally, it’s perfect for make-ahead. You can chill it in the fridge and enjoy it whenever you’re ready.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• ½ cup small sago pearls
• 2 ripe mangoes (plus extra for topping)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• ½ cup milk (any kind you prefer)
• 2–3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• A pinch of salt

Optional:

• Condensed milk for extra creaminess
• Fresh fruit for topping

How to Make Mango Sago Pudding

First, bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the sago pearls. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick together. Let them cook until they turn mostly translucent, which usually takes about 10–15 minutes.

Next, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the sago sit for a few more minutes until fully translucent. After that, drain and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

Meanwhile, peel and dice the mangoes. Blend most of the mango into a smooth puree, and keep a few small chunks for texture.

Then, in a bowl, combine the mango puree, coconut milk, regular milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.

Now, add the cooked sago pearls and the reserved mango chunks. Mix gently so everything is evenly distributed.

Finally, cover and chill the pudding in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours. This step helps the flavors come together and gives the pudding that cool, refreshing finish.

Simple Serving Ideas

This mango sago pudding is delicious on its own, but you can easily dress it up:
