  • 2 tablespoons Strawberry Jam Adjust sweetness to your liking.
For Sweetness
  • 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk Modify based on your taste preferences.
For Texture

  • Fine mesh strainer
  • blender
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by bringing a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the small tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to a gentle boil. Cook the pearls for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become entirely transparent.
  2. Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, remove them from heat and pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer to rinse under cold water. Transfer the rinsed pearls to a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a blender, combine half of your chopped strawberries, the coconut milk, regular milk, and a splash of strawberry jam. Blend this mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  4. Gently fold in the remaining chopped strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and chewy coconut jellies to the tapioca mixture.
  5. Your Strawberry Sago is now ready to be served! Optionally, chill in the refrigerator for about an hour for enhanced flavors.
