Production Steps:

Preparing the Sago:

2. Add sago: Gradually add sago pearls to the boiling water while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
3. Cook: Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the sago pearls become translucent.
4. Rest: Turn off the heat and let the sago sit covered for 5-10 minutes to finish cooking.
5. Rinse: Drain the sago in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside. Preparing the Mango Puree:
6. Prepare mangoes: Peel and cut mangoes into chunks. Remove the seed.
7. Blend: Place half of the mango chunks in a blender. Add condensed milk and coconut milk (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
8. Adjust sweetness: Taste the puree and add sugar if needed. Assembling the Mango Sago:
9. Combine: Combine the cooked sago with the mango puree in a bowl. Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
10. Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
11. Serve: Serve the mango sago chilled, topped with fresh mango cubes for garnish. Tips for Perfect Mango Sago: For a richer flavor, use coconut milk in the mango puree.
    Adjust the sweetness of the mango puree based on the sweetness of your mangoes.
    For a thicker texture, use less liquid when blending the mango puree.
    If the sago becomes too sticky during cooking, add a splash of cold water to separate the pearls.

By following these steps, you can create a refreshing and delicious mango sago dessert that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy!
