Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Rinse the tapioca under cold water, drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
  3. To a blender, add half the strawberries, coconut milk, regular milk, and strawberry jam. Blend until smooth, then into the bowl of tapioca.
  4. Stir in the remaining strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies. Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for an hour before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Strawberry Sago Dessert ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare components ahead. Cook the sago pearls and make the coconut jellies a day in advance. Assemble the Strawberry Sago Dessert with Coconut Jellies just before serving for the best texture and freshness.

What can I use if I can’t find fresh strawberries?

Frozen strawberries are an excellent substitute. Thaw and puree them for the sauce. You can also use a high-quality strawberry jam or preserve, slightly thinned, to maintain the fruity flavor central to this dessert.

How do I prevent the sago pearls from clumping together?

Always stir the pearls continuously when you first add them to boiling water. After draining, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and toss with a little syrup or oil. This ensures perfect, separate pearls for your Strawberry Sago Dessert.
