Description
This is a fruity and refreshing twist on the classic Strawberry Sago dessert, featuring an extra boost of strawberry flavor from added jam and coconut jellies for texture.
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
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 pour into the bowl of tapioca.
4. Stir in the remaining strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies.
5. Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for an hour before serving.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add more condensed milk to taste.
Use canned or fresh strawberries, depending on the season.
You can substitute coconut jellies with fruit-flavored jellies or omit them if unavailable.
