About this recipe
Mango sago pudding Thermomix TM7 brings the beloved Hong Kong dessert classic straight into your all-in-one kitchen machine. If you have been searching for mango recipes Thermomix fans rave about, this one delivers: chewy translucent sago pearls suspended in a coconut milk custard thickened with egg yolks, topped with a vibrant purée of fresh ripe mango. The TM7 handles every stage with ease, from weighing the sago directly into the mixing bowl to cooking the custard at a gentle controlled heat so the egg yolks never scramble. The blades then blitz the mango into a silky sauce without a single lump, something a hand whisk simply cannot match. Serve it chilled as a refreshing dessert after an Asian dinner, at a summer barbecue, or portioned into glasses for a children's party. Because the pudding needs time in the fridge, it is the ideal make-ahead dessert for entertaining, leaving you free to focus on your guests.
Preparation tips
- Rinse the cooked sago pearls under cold running water until completely cool; this stops them sticking together and keeps each pearl separate and pleasantly chewy in the final pudding.
- Use fully ripe Alphonso or Nam Dok Mai mangoes for the purée, and reserve a few neat cubes of mango to fold through the pudding for texture and an attractive presentation in clear glasses.
- If you prefer a lighter version, replace the whole milk with extra coconut milk or a plant-based alternative; a tiny pinch of sea salt enhances the mango sweetness beautifully without adding sugar.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free variation: swap the milk entirely for coconut milk and omit the egg yolks, thickening instead with a cornflour slurry for a vegan mango sago that is just as creamy and tropical.
- Festive variation: layer the pudding in tall glasses with passion fruit pulp and lime zest between the sago and mango cream, then top with toasted coconut flakes for a colourful party dessert.
