Instructions

  • First thing you’ll want to do is to cook your sago. This would depend on the kind of sago you have — some require almost an hour of cooking while others are done in 5 minutes. I provide more sago cooking tips in the post. Once your sago is done, put it aside in a bowl of cold water while you work on the rest of your ingredients.

  • In a blender, combine evaporated milk, cream and flesh from the mangoes. Blend until thick, creamy and fully incorporated.

  • Sweeten your mixture with condensed milk. How much condensed milk you put largely depends on how sweet your mango puree is. Careful not to put too much though; we don’t want the condensed milk to overpower the mango flavor. I usually put 1-2 tablespoons.
