Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Sago (small pearls)
- 1 liter Water
- 1 medium-sized Honeydew melon
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 pieces Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse the sago under cold water to remove any excess starch.
2. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Gradually add the sago, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the sago for about 15 minutes, or until the pearls turn translucent. Stir occasionally to avoid clumping.
4. Once the sago is cooked, drain it through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water to cool and remove excess starch. Set aside.
5. Cut the honeydew melon in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard them. Use a melon baller to create small round melon balls, or dice the melon into small cubes if preferred.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
7. Add the cooked sago and honeydew melon balls (or cubes) to the coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
9. Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir. Optionally, add a few ice cubes to each serving bowl for extra refreshment.
10. Serve the Honeydew and Sago Cream chilled and enjoy!
