This dessert is inspired by Thai mango sticky rice and consists of coconut pudding with mango sago. The flavours are similar but in a totally different form.


Sago is a starch extracted from various palm stems. It is often produced commercially in these round forms known as "pearls" and are boiled to soften and cook them before eating. They have a chewy texture and are often found in asian puddings/desserts.


The coconut pudding is super soft and jiggly and pairs perfectly with ripe juicy Thai mangoes and the sago adds a fun complementary texture. A super simple no-bake dessert that is perfect for dinner parties.

Ingredients
For the coconut pudding
  • 2 tsp gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 60g granulated sugar
  • 200g heavy cream
  • 200ml milk
  • 400ml coconut cream 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Mango sago topping:
  • 1/4 cup small sago pearls 
  • 4 cups of water 
  • 2 mangos 
Instructions

Prepare 4-6 serving glasses (depending on size, mine are about 250ml glasses).
Add gelatin to water and allow to sit for 10 minutes. 
Combine heavy cream, milk and sugar in a pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar is melted. 
Add gelatin mixture to the cream and continue cooking for about one minute. 
Turn off the heat, add coconut cream and vanilla extract then mix until fully incorporated. 
Pour evenly into serving glasses. 
Allow to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (ideally overnight). 
When almost ready to serve, cook the sago. Boil 4 cups of water in a pot, then reduce to low-medium heat. Add sago and stir, cook for 15 minutes until the sago is almost translucent. Turn heat off and allow to sit in the pot for another 10 minutes to cook completely. Drain sago and rinse with cold water until no longer hot. 
Slice mango into cubes, then top the coconut pudding with a couple of spoons of sago and the mango. Enjoy!
Tips
  • You can prepare the dessert a few hours in advance and leave it in the fridge. It can even keep overnight after assembling but the mango may start to go brown and the sago will start to become more clumpy.
