Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sago pearls
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar or preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cups water (for cooking sago)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sago Pearls: Rinse the sago pearls under cold water. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sago pearls. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pearls turn translucent and soft, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch and stop further cooking.
  2. Sweeten and Warm the Coconut Milk: In a separate saucepan, gently warm the coconut milk with a pinch of salt and your chosen sweetener. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, taking care not to let it boil.
  3. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and slice or chop the fresh strawberries into bite-sized pieces to allow their juices to naturally blend with the coconut milk and sago.
  4. Combine Everything: In a mixing bowl or individual serving cups, combine the cooked sago pearls, warm coconut milk mixture, and fresh strawberries. Stir gently to mix without breaking the strawberries.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least one hour to chill. Serving cold enhances its refreshing qualities and allows flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Rinse sago thoroughly after cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier dessert.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to the natural sweetness of your strawberries.
  • Cook sago only until translucent to maintain a perfect chewy texture without mushiness.
  • Always use fresh strawberries for the best texture and flavor; avoid frozen.
