Notes
How to Customize Your Mango Sago
- Make It Vegan: Use coconut condensed milk or agave syrup instead of regular condensed milk.
- Add More Texture: Mix in coconut jelly, chia seeds, or fresh lychee.
- Swap Fruits: Try with pineapple, papaya, or dragon fruit.
- Make It Thicker: Add more mango puree for a pudding-like texture.
