Ingredients
- ½ cup sago (tapioca pearls)
- 3 cups water (for boiling pearls)
- 2 scoops creamy coconut ice cream
- ½ cup boiled sweet corn kernels
- ½ cup arrowroot cubes (boiled until tender)
- 2 tbsp condensed milk or honey (optional for extra sweetness)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnishing)
Method of Preparation
Cook the Sago: Rinse the sago thoroughly, then boil in 3 cups of water until the pearls turn translucent. Drain, rinse under cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Prepare the Toppings: Boil the arrowroot cubes until soft and tender. Drain and set aside. Similarly, prepare the sweet corn if not pre-cooked.
Assemble the Dessert: In a chilled glass or dessert bowl, layer the cooked sago pearls at the base. Add the boiled sweet corn and arrowroot cubes as toppings.
Add the Star: Place two scoops of creamy coconut ice cream right at the center.
Drizzle & Finish: Drizzle condensed milk or honey over the top for added sweetness (optional). Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Serving & Garnishment
Serve this tropical dessert immediately while the ice cream is still cold and the pearls are soft and chewy. Garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for a fragrant finishing touch.
Perfect Accompaniment Drink
Pair this dessert with a refreshing chilled lemongrass iced tea or a light mango spritzer to enhance the tropical experience. The drink balances the creamy richness of the coconut ice cream while keeping your palate refreshed.
