Equipment

  • Pan for heating sago pearls and coconut cream mixture
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pudding mold

Ingredients
  

  • 80 g Sago pearls
  • Cold water to rinse sago pearls
  • 10 g gelatin
  • Cold water to soak gelatin
  • 200 g coconut cream
  • 30 g sugar
  • 1 tbsp dragon fruit juice
  • Mango cubes and mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Cook The Sago (You can refer to my guide on "How To Cook Sago" for detailed instructions).

  • Boil water in a pot.
  • Once the water boils, add the sago and cook on low heat for 15 minutes while stirring continuously. It's important to stir continuously to avoid the sago from sticking together.
  • After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit in the hot water for an additional 15 minutes. It should become translucent after 15 minutes.
  • Then, rinse the sago in cold water and set aside.

Soak The Gelatin

  • Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, it should become jelly-like.

Prepare The Pudding Mixture

  • Pour coconut cream and sugar into a pot.
  • Heat the mixture on low heat until the sugar melts.
  • Turn off the fire once the sugar melts.
  • Then, add the soaked gelatin and stir until it dissolves.
  • Next, mix the dragon fruit juice until the mixture becomes pink.

Make The Pudding Shape

  • Prepare your chosen mold.
  • Pour the mixture into the mold. It is recommended that the mold is filled about 70% full to allow enough space for the sago pearls.
  • Then, add a spoonful of sago pearls and stir well. The sago pearls should be evenly distributed into the mold.
  • Refrigerate the pudding for about 4 hours or until it becomes firm.
  • Once it becomes firm, remove the pudding from the mold and add mango cubes and mint leaf on top.
  • Enjoy and serve it while cold. The dessert can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.
