Strawberry Sago


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sago:

  • 1/2 cup sago pearls
  • 5 cups water

For the Strawberry Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Milk Base:

  • 1 cup whole milk (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (or more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh strawberry slices
  • Whipped cream
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

1. Cook the Sago

  1. Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Cook Sago: Add the sago pearls and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The pearls should turn translucent.
  3. Drain and Rinse: Drain the sago and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

2. Make the Strawberry Sauce

  1. Cook Strawberries: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Blend (Optional): For a smooth sauce, blend the mixture and strain it to remove seeds. If you prefer a chunky texture, skip this step.
  3. Cool: Allow the sauce to cool completely.

3. Prepare the Milk Base

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate until ready to assemble.

4. Assemble the Strawberry Sago

  1. Layer the Ingredients: In serving glasses or bowls, start with a layer of cooked sago, followed by the strawberry sauce, and then the milk base.
  2. Add Toppings: Garnish with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or mint leaves for extra flair.
  3. Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
