Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sago pearls
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or preferred sweetener)
  • 2 cups water (for cooking sago)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sago Pearls: Boil 2 cups of water in a pot. Add 1/2 cup sago pearls and stir regularly. Cook until the pearls turn translucent with a tiny white dot in the center, about 10-15 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Coconut Milk Mixture: In a separate saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This warm mixture will be the creamy base of the dessert.
  3. Combine Sago and Coconut Milk: Mix the cooked sago pearls into the warm coconut milk. Stir well to ensure even distribution and let it soak for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Add Fresh Strawberries: Fold in sliced or chopped fresh strawberries gently into the sago and coconut milk mixture. Chill in the refrigerator if you prefer a cold dessert.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Strawberry Sago with Coconut Milk in bowls or clear glasses to showcase the vibrant colors and creamy texture. Optionally garnish with mint leaves, toasted coconut flakes, or thin strawberry slices.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for maximum creaminess and flavor depth.
  • Do not overcook sago pearls; they should be tender but not mushy.
  • Rinse cooked sago pearls well to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
  • Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your strawberries.
  • This dessert can be served chilled or warmed, both offering different taste experiences.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it affects texture and flavor.
  • Gently reheat on low heat with frequent stirring if serving warm to avoid curdling.
