This is one of my favorite cold desserts. Because I don't like evaporated milk, I replaced it with coconut milk and water. On another day, I tried making it with evaporated milk just for my family so I have two recipes below.
200ml coconut milk (I used Kara)
170ml water
3 tbsp sugar
70g sago
4-5 ripen mangoes
Steps -
1. Soak the sago with water for 5 minutes. Then cook it in boiling water for 8 minutes. Remove from heat, cover with lid and close for 10 minutes. Drain and cool with cold water. Set aside.
2. In a pot, mix the coconut milk, water and sugar together. Bring it to a soft boil or until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.
3. Puree some mangoes to achieve 300g (keeping some to cut into cubes to deco) and pour it in to above point 2. Add the ready sago in too. Stir to mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hrs.
Serve and top with more mango cubes. Best served chilled.
