Hi all, some of you may like the mango dessert so i think i should share the recipe here. Actually you can find this dessert at a few Hong Kong cafes but they may be too sweet with watery consistency where they add a lot of sugar syrup. However, if you prepare the dessert at home, you can have it at a better quality ( eg. it can be richer), customize sweetness level and at lower cost. And also, I think it is a delicious and refreshing dessert which you can prepare for parties and gatherings!



Mango Sago with Pomelo ( serves 15)

Ingredients
4 large ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
2 small ripe mangoes, cut into small cubes for toppings)
1 sweet pomelo, peeled and sac loosen
300 ml of mango juice(I used Marigold Peelfresh brand)
1 packet (200g) of QQ balls ( from Sheng Siong) or approx 100g of sago
2 tablespoons of sugar syrup
2 tablespoons of UHT whipping cream


Method
You may replace the colourful QQ balls with sago.

1) Put sago pearls into a pot of boiling water. Stir and cook until transparent. Pour cooked sago pearls into a sieve. Rinse under running water and drain.

2) Now, place mangoes and mango juice into blender. Blend ingredients into purée form. Add in the whipping cream to give it a smooth consistency.

3) Pour the mango mixture into a large bowl. Add in sugar syrup to the purée until the sweetness is just right. Add in the loosen pomelo sac and QQ balls. Then, fold the ingredients to mix well.

4) Top mango cubes and serve chilled.

Tips:Make sure mangoes and pomelo are ripe and sweet if not it will become too sour.
You may add in shaved ice to the dessert so that it is not too sweet and it is even more refreshing.
