Ingredients
  

Coconut Milk Jelly Layer

  • 400 g coconut milk
  • 650 g milk
  • 50 g white sugar
  • 150 g heavy cream
  • 30 g gelatin sheets soaked in cold water until soft

Toppings & Garnish

  • 300 g mango flesh for puree
  • Glutinous rice balls cooked (optional)
  • Tapioca pearls sago, cooked
  • Pomelo segments
  • Mango chunks
  • Mint leaves

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut Milk Jelly

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, milk, and white sugar. Stir well until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  • Pour the mixture into a non-stick pan. Add the heavy cream.
  • Heat the mixture over low heat until it reaches 60°C (140°F) . The mixture should be warm and steaming but not boiling.
  • Remove the pan from heat. Add the gelatin sheets that have been soaked in cold water until soft. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and fully incorporated.
  • Pour the liquid into your chosen serving cups or a large container.
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours or until the coconut milk jelly is completely firm and set.

Prepare the Toppings

  • While the jelly is setting, prepare your toppings. Place the mango flesh in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth to create a mango puree.
  • Cook the tapioca pearls (sago) according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • If using glutinous rice balls, cook them according to your preferred method or refer to my mango sticky rice balls recipe.
  • Prepare fresh pomelo segments, mango chunks, and mint leaves.

Assemble the Mango Sago Cup

  • Once the coconut milk jelly is fully set, remove it from the refrigerator.
  • Spoon the mango puree evenly over the top of the jelly layer.
  • Arrange the cooked tapioca pearls (sago), glutinous rice balls (if using), pomelo segments, and fresh mango chunks over the mango puree.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Serve

  • Serve immediately while cold. Enjoy the perfect balance of creamy coconut jelly, sweet mango, chewy sago and rice balls, and bright pomelo.
