Sago Pudding with Palm Sugar (Gula Melaka Sago )

makes 12 puddings
found from web will try later


1 packet (about 300g) small sago pearls
200g gula melaka
200ml natural coconut cream
100ml natural coconut milk

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add sago when water is boiling. Stir frequently to avoid the sago sticking to the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat when the sago floats to the top. The centres of the sago should be just translucent as the heat retained will cook the sago through. Pour out half the water (the sago would have fallen to the bottom by now) and rinse with cold water a couple of times to remove the starch.

Spoon the sago into moulds and chill in the fridge until set (about 1 hour).

Melt the gula melaka in a small saucepan with a little water over very low heat until dissolved. Set aside to cool. Mix the coconut cream and coconut milk and set aside.

To serve the puddings, place 1 set sago pudding in a bowl. Eat with as much gula melaka and coconut milk/cream as you like!
