Description
Delightful Coconut Pudding emerges as a creamy tropical dessert from Southeast Asian kitchens. Smooth coconut milk and simple ingredients combine to create a silky sweet treat you’ll savor with pure culinary pleasure.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white tapioca pearls or mini sago pearls (uncooked)
- 6 cups water
- 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) coconut milk
- 1 ripe mango (peeled and diced)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2–3 tbsps sweetened condensed milk (to taste)
Instructions
- Boil Preparation: Fill a medium saucepan with water, heating over medium-high until a rolling boil develops.
- Sago Cooking: Introduce sago pearls into boiling water, immediately reducing heat to medium-low for a gentle simmer. Stir periodically during the 15-20 minute cooking process to prevent pearl adhesion, understanding that small white specks might remain visible.
- Resting Phase: After cooking, remove saucepan from heat but keep pearls submerged in hot water for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing complete translucency.
- Cooling Process: Strain pearls in a colander, rinsing thoroughly with cold water to halt cooking and rapidly cool the sago. Transfer cooled pearls to a clean mixing bowl.
- Honey Infusion: Gently fold honey into the sago pearls using a soft spatula, ensuring even coating and preventing pearl clustering.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Continuously stir sago pearls during cooking to avoid clumping and burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Texture Check: Small white specks on pearls are normal; they will become translucent after additional soaking time.
- Cooling Technique: Rinse cooked pearls with cold water to immediately stop the cooking process and achieve perfect texture.
- Coating Carefully: Use a soft spatula when folding honey to ensure even distribution without breaking delicate sago pearls.
