Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet mango jelly prepared according to package instructions
  • 2 ripe mangoes cubed
  • 1 mango blended into purée
  • ½ cup fruit cocktail canned, drained
  • cups tapioca pearls sago, boiled and chilled
  • 2 tbsp condensed milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk or any milk of your choice
  • Ice cubes as needed, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Cook the jelly according to the packet instructions (usually involves boiling water and mixing in the jelly powder).
  • Pour into a dish and let it set in the refrigerator until firm (about 2–3 hours).
  • Once set, cut the jelly into small cubes and keep chilled.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  • Add the tapioca pearls and boil uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once they become mostly translucent (with a small white center), turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let sit for another 10–15 minutes until fully translucent.
  • Drain the pearls in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  • Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Peel and slice one mango. Blend until smooth with a splash of coconut milk or water if needed to loosen.
  • Chill the purée in the fridge.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine:
  • Chilled tapioca pearls
  • Mango jelly cubes
  • Mango purée
  • Fruit cocktail
  • Fresh mango cubes
  • Condensed milk
  • Coconut milk
  • Gently mix everything together. Taste and adjust sweetness with more condensed milk if desired.
  • To serve: Fill a glass or bowl with the mango sago mixture and top with lots of ice. Serve cold and enjoy immediately.
