Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Sago pearls
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 400 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 grams Fresh fruit (such as mango or berries), for serving
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios), for garnish
Instructions
Rinse the sago pearls thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sago pearls, coconut milk, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Cook the sago for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the pearls become translucent, indicating they are fully cooked. Stir regularly.
Once the sago is cooked, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pudding to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for a few minutes before transferring it into serving bowls or glasses.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up and reach the desired creamy texture.
Before serving, top the pudding with fresh fruit and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious dairy-free sago pudding!
