Ingredients
- 1 cup pomelo pulps
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 1/2 cups water (for boiling)
- 1/2 cup sago pearls
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar or more to taste
- Pinch salt
- 2 knotted Pandan leaves
- 1 additional mango, peeled and cut into cubes
- Mint leaves (for decorating)
Instructions
Peel a pomelo and gently pick out the pomelo pulps. Set aside.
Blend mangoes, evaporated milk and water until you get a smooth mango puree.
In a small pot, bring the water to boil. Add the sago pearls and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pot with its lid. Set aside for 15 minutes. The sago pearls should turn translucent. Drain the sago pearls using a strainer, run cold water to rinse off the extra starch.
In a small pot on low heat, simmer the coconut milk, sugar, salt and pandan leaves until the sugar dissolves. Discard the pandan leaves.
To make Mango Pomelo Sago, combine the mango puree, sago and coconut milk together. Stir to mix well. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
To serve, transfer the mango dessert to individual serving bowls. Top with some mango cubes, pomelo pulps and mint leaves.

You can switch out the evaporated with the coconut. Slight taste difference possible.

The “Sago” tapioca pearls (Sago is the brand from the Philippines, yet they are tapioca pearls.) say to cook and soak twice for long periods of time on the package. Do I need to do that first or just follow your directions? They are a tan color, not white. What do you recommend?

What can be used instead of pomelo and grapefruit because they interfere with drug prescriptions?
