Ingredients

Scale

Sago Pearls

  • 1/2 cup sago pearls

Strawberry Mixture

  • 2 lbs strawberries (washed and stems removed)
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 3 tablespoon condensed milk (adjust to taste)

Coconut Milk

  • 1 cup coconut milk (whole fat, chilled)

Garnish

  • Chopped strawberry pieces (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the sago pearls and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pearls turn transparent, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until fully translucent.
  2. Cool the sago: Strain the cooked sago and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Submerge the sieve with the sago into a bowl of cold water to prevent the pearls from drying out. Set aside.
  3. Blend the strawberries: In a blender, add the washed strawberries, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more condensed milk if a sweeter flavor is desired, then blend again. Chill this strawberry mixture in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
  4. Combine ingredients: Drain the cooled sago pearls well. In a large mixing bowl, add the sago, chilled coconut milk, and the chilled strawberry mixture. Stir gently until well combined.
  5. Assemble and serve: Spoon the mixture into individual serving cups. Garnish with chopped fresh strawberry pieces on top. Serve immediately or chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure to rinse sago thoroughly after cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of condensed milk added to the strawberry blend.
  • For a thicker consistency, chill the assembled dessert for an hour before serving.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural flavor and vibrant color.
  • This dessert can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge, but garnish fresh before serving.
