Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Sago pearls
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (sliced banana, mango, or berries)
Instructions
Rinse the sago pearls under cold water in a fine mesh sieve to remove any excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the rinsed sago pearls to the simmering liquid. Stir continuously to prevent the sago from clumping together.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until the sago becomes translucent and tender.
Once the sago is cooked, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cardamom powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
Spoon the sago pudding into individual serving bowls and let it cool further to your desired temperature.
Before serving, top each serving with fresh sliced fruit for added flavor and texture.
Enjoy your low sodium sago pudding as a delightful dessert or a comforting snack!
