Summer is great and all, with the beaches and the pools, but wait until you are stuck at home in a tropical country and the heat is just draining all the energy out of you… are we right or are we right? Of course, we are right! That said, we want to assure you that we are hearing what you are saying. You want more desserts that will save you this summer and that’s why we are here—to give you exactly that!
Other than summer is the perfect time to go out to the beach and enjoy the sun, it is also the time to go cray-cray for mangoes. That’s right, it’s mango season, y’all, and so here we have a treat that is not only cooling but also mango-rrific!
Sago’t Gulaman is a classic sweet beverage here in the Philippines. This local Filipino beverage is made of brown sugar, water, gelatin, and tapioca pearls. Its name—Sago’t Gulaman—refers to its two main ingredients: Tapioca Pearls and Gelatin. These two sure add a fun play on this drink as people get to experience a munch-worthy jelly-like texture that complements the overall smooth and refreshing drink.
That said, we wanted to bring that fun and delectableness up a notch and give you guys more than the classic Sago’t Gulaman, hence our Mango Sago’t Gulaman. This goodie is actually trending nowadays and we wanted to try it out ourselves—not just by eating it, but making it as well.
Mango Sago’t Gulaman, also known as Mango Sago Jelly, is a tropical dessert salad that a lot of Filipinos have fallen in love with!

With layers of fresh mango, thick sweet cream, jelly, and tapioca pearls, it is not really surprising that Mango Sago’t Gulaman has everyone swooning.
