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
- Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
- Cook Sago: Add the sago pearls and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The pearls should turn translucent.
- Drain and Rinse: Drain the sago and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.
2. Make the Strawberry Sauce
- 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.
- Blend (Optional): For a smooth sauce, blend the mixture and strain it to remove seeds. If you prefer a chunky texture, skip this step.
- Cool: Allow the sauce to cool completely.
3. Prepare the Milk Base
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Chill: Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
4. Assemble the Strawberry Sago
- 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.
- Add Toppings: Garnish with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or mint leaves for extra flair.
- Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
