Chilled Mango Sago Pudding

WaterMelon's Note:

Posted on request for a dessert similar to Hui Lau Shan (mango dessert popular in Hong Kong). The yield and prep/cook time is an estimation.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 ½ cups sago (colored or plain)
• 2⁄3; cup evaporated milk
• 3 cups water
• ¼ cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons coconut cream or 6 tablespoons thick coconut milk
• ¼ cup mango nectar or ¼ cup mango juice
• ½ cup chopped mango

Directions:

1. Bring water to a boil, add sago and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Stir in sugar, mango nectar, evaporated milk and coconut cream.
3. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring once in a while to prevent sago and milk from burning.
4. Simmer until liquid has almost evaporated.
5. While still hot, stir in mangoes and scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture into serving glasses/bowls and let cool.
6. If you like you can puree the mixture slightly with a blender or stick-blender before scooping into individual bowls.
7. Chill for several hours before serving, and serve with extra chopped mango if desired.

This was the highlight of my Thai dinner party! I'd never cooked this before and many guests had never eaten it... but everyone loved it! I actually put them in nice cocktail glasses with fanned mango at the bottom, and served some warmed sweetened coconut milk with it to drizzle over the top. Mmmmm yum! I had to promise to send the link to the recipe ;)
