SpicenEasy's Classic Coconut Sago Pudding

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 20 minutes (+ chilling time)

• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 cup SpicenEasy Sago Pearls

• 1 can (400ml) coconut milk

• ½ cup water

• ⅓ cup sugar (or to taste)

• Pinch of salt

• Optional toppings: Fresh mango cubes, lychees, or toasted coconut flakes

Instructions:

1. Cook Sago: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add sago pearls and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent with a small white dot in the center.

2. Rinse & Drain: Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process.

3. Make Coconut Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar dissolves. Do not boil.

4. Combine: Mix the cooked sago pearls with the warm coconut sauce.

5. Chill: Pour into individual serving bowls or one large dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

6. Serve: Enjoy chilled with your favourite tropical fruit toppings.

Chef's Tip: The key to perfect sago is using plenty of boiling water and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Don't overcook – they should be soft but still pleasantly chewy. For a stunning layered effect, let the pudding cool slightly before adding mango puree at the bottom of the glasses. This pudding can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for entertaining!
