Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Base
- 300 g Fresh strawberries (finely diced)
- 400 ml Coconut milk (smooth and creamy)
Sweetener
- To taste Granulated sugar (adjust sweetness as desired)
Add-ins
- 100 g Small tapioca pearls (for chewy texture)
- 100 g Coconut jellies (drained and added)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Blend together the finely diced strawberries, coconut milk, and granulated sugar until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture. Once blended, chill this mixture in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to cool.
- Cook Tapioca Pearls: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the small tapioca pearls. Boil them for approximately 10 minutes until the pearls become translucent, indicating they are cooked through. After boiling, remove the pot from heat and let the pearls steam in the hot water for an additional 10 minutes to achieve the perfect chewy texture.
- Rinse Tapioca Pearls: Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them thoroughly with cold water. Keep them submerged in cold water if you are not using them immediately to prevent sticking and maintain their texture.
- Combine Components: Gently fold the cooked tapioca pearls into the chilled strawberry and coconut milk mixture. Add the remaining fresh diced strawberries along with the drained coconut jellies, mixing carefully to distribute evenly without breaking the pearls or jellies.
- Adjust Consistency and Serve: If the pudding appears too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a splash of water and stir gently. Serve the strawberry sago chilled for a refreshing and delightful tropical treat.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness of your strawberries and personal preference.
- Ensure tapioca pearls are fully cooked to avoid a hard center before serving.
- Use fresh coconut milk for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- You can refrigerate the dessert for up to 24 hours; tapioca may firm up, so stir before serving.
- For a vegan dessert, ensure the coconut jellies used are plant-based.
