Ingredients

  • 60 g sago
  • 1 pomelo
  • 500 g mango 250g diced, 250g chunks for blending
  • 250 g coconut milk
  • 500 g milk 250g for mango smoothie, 250g for assembling
  • 20 g condensed milk

Instructions

Prepare the Sago

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 60g sago and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the sago soak for 20 minutes until translucent.
  • Strain the sago, rinse under cold water to enhance its chewy texture, and set aside.

Prepare the Fruits

  • Peel the pomelo and carefully extract the flesh, removing any white membranes. Place the flesh in a bowl.
  • Wash, peel, and pit the mango. Dice 250g into small cubes and cut the other 250g into chunks for blending.

Make the Mango Smoothie

  • In a blender, combine 250g mango chunks, 250g coconut milk, 250g milk, and 20g condensed milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Dessert

  • In a serving glass, add a layer of mango cubes at the bottom, followed by some pomelo flesh.
  • Pour a small amount of milk to fill the gaps between the fruit layers.
  • Slowly pour the mango smoothie on top, allowing it to spread evenly across the fruits.
