Mango Sago Pomelo (杨枝甘露)


Whenever you can get your hands on fresh mangoes and pomelo, try making this mango sago pomelo desert. It is one of my most favourite Chinese desserts especially when the weather is warm. Can't beat it. It is a simple Chinese dessert that is served cold and can be made ahead of time. So if you are hosting a dinner, this is a very unique dessert that has never gotten a complaint - so far.

Mango Sago Pomelo (杨枝甘露)

80 grams sagos
3 ripe mangoes
1/2 cup pomelo from Thailand
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1 cup whipping cream (use half and half for lighter version)
6 tablespoons Sugar

Step 1:
Peel and core 2 mangoes. Blend it with milk and water to create a mango milk.

Step 2:
Cook sago in boiling water until transparent. Turn off heat and soak for a 10 minutes. Then rinse under running tap water, drain and set aside.

Step 3:
Dissolve sugar in 1 cup of hot water. Allow to cool.

Step 4:
Peel and core the remaining mango and dice. Peel pomelo and shred the pulp. Set aside.

Step 5:
Mix all ingredients well, chill for several hours and serve.

Enjoy !!
