Description
A creamy, refreshing dessert made with tender sago pearls and fresh strawberries blended into a lightly sweet, silky milk base, perfect for warm days or a light finish to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup small tapioca pearls (sago)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups cold water
Instructions
- Bring the cold water to a boil in a medium saucepan, add the tapioca pearls, and cook while stirring gently until mostly translucent, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the cooked sago using a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside to cool completely.
- Add the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar to a blender and blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until fully blended.
- Gently fold the cooled sago pearls into the strawberry milk mixture until evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving well chilled.
Notes
- Rinse the sago thoroughly after cooking to prevent clumping.
- Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill the dessert completely for the most refreshing texture.
