Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sago pearls
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mango (optional, diced)
- 0.5 cup Strawberries (optional, sliced)
- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the sago pearls under cold water to remove excess starch. Set them aside.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Once boiling, add the sago pearls and stir frequently to prevent them from sticking together.
Cook the sago pearls on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until they become translucent. If necessary, add more water during cooking to ensure they remain submerged.
Drain the cooked sago pearls in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove any excess starch.
In a separate pot, combine coconut milk, whole milk, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
Add the cooked sago pearls to the milk mixture and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature.
Divide the sago cream into serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Top the chilled dessert with diced mango, sliced strawberries, or any other desired fruits. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing treat!
