Mango Compote Recipe:
Creamy Mango Compote with coconut and sago is an Asian-inspired chilled treat. Mango Coconut Sago with fresh fruit topping has mango chunks simmered in a syrup of sugar and lime. This popular Asian dessert full of tropical flavours is the perfect palate refresher.
- To make Mango Compote with Sago and Coconut Cream, firstly wash and peel the ripe mango. Cut the mango into cubes. These mango cubes make a lovely garnish and add a wonderfully fresh contrast to the mango compote. Set a few pieces aside to top the final dessert.
- Now place the diced mangoes in a pan. Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir the mango, sugar, and lime juice well.
- Place the pan with the mango mixture over medium heat and boil, stirring frequently.
- Then, reduce the heat to low and allow the mango mixture to simmer for 5 – 10 minutes, until the mangoes are soft and the syrup has thickened slightly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mango compote to cool completely. Cooling it allows the flavours to meld together.
- Next, boil about 3-4 cups of water in a pan. Add the sago pearls and cook for about 15 minutes on medium-low, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- After 15 minutes, or once the sago pearls turn translucent, turn off the heat, and let it sit for about three minutes.
- Then drain the sago pearls and run them under cold water. Set aside.
- Now in a pan, combine milk, coconut milk, remaining sugar and cream. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, stir occasionally, and let everything cook until the sugar has dissolved and cream slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
- Now combine the drained sago pearls. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Let it cool to room temperature.
- Now spoon the mango compote into glasses.
- Then top with coconut cream sago mixture.
- Place in the refrigerator.
- When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and decorate with diced mango.
