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.
