How to make Mango Sago Pudding (sugar-free)
Place the sago pearls in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for 30 minutes. Strain them and set aside.
In a deep pot over high heat, bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked sago pearls, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the sago pearls are translucent.
Strain the cooked sago pearls using a sieve and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Pour the milk and coconut milk into a saucepan. Add honey, salt, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cooked sago pearls to the coconut milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the mango puree, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thick consistency. Turn off the heat.
Allow the mango sago to cool completely. Transfer to a bowl. Chill it in the fridge before serving for a cool and creamy dessert.
Pour the chilled mango sago into glasses or bowls. Add fresh mango pieces just before serving for extra flavour.
