Strawberry Sago
This is my take on the popular Strawberry Sago dessert. I found regular strawberry sago does not have enough strawberry flavor so I added strawberry jam to the base. It tastes much better!
Ingredients
- ½ cup small tapioca pearls
- 3 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup coconut milk (any type)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar coconut jellies (nata de coco)
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook for 25-30 minutes until fully translucent. If they still have a white center, just keep cooking for a few more minutes. Sometimes, you need to add more water if the pearls do not change to transparent.
- Rinse the tapioca under cold water, drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
- To a blender, add half the strawberries, coconut milk, regular milk, and strawberry jam. Blend until smooth, then into the bowl of tapioca.
- Stir in the remaining strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies. Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for an hour before serving.
