Strawberry Matcha Sago is a refreshing dessert featuring chewy sago pearls combined with vibrant matcha milk, fresh strawberries, and coconut jelly, making it a perfect sweet treat with a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Sago

  • ½ cup dried sago
  • Water for boiling

Matcha Milk

  • 2 tablespoons (12 g) matcha powder
  • ½ cup (120 ml) hot water 176°F (80°C)
  • 1 cup milk or milk of choice

Other Ingredients

  • ¾ cup evaporated milk
  • ¼ cup condensed milk, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup strawberries, washed and diced
  • 1 cup coconut jelly
  • ½ cup strawberry heart jelly, optional
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the sago, reduce heat to medium high, and cook until the pearls are mostly transparent, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 10-15 minutes until fully translucent.
  2. Cool the sago: Strain the sago and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Submerge the sieve with sago in a water bowl to prevent drying. Set aside.
  3. Make matcha milk: Sift the matcha powder into a small heat-proof bowl. Whisk with hot water in a “W” motion until frothy and combined. Add the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine ingredients: Drain the sago. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sago, evaporated milk, condensed milk, matcha milk, diced strawberries, coconut jelly, strawberry jelly, and ice cubes. Mix gently.
  5. Assemble and serve: Portion into individual cups and serve immediately for a refreshing, textured dessert experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk to control the sweetness according to your taste.
  • Use coconut jelly and strawberry heart jelly for added texture; you may substitute with other flavored jellies if unavailable.
  • Ensure sago is fully translucent and chewy before draining to avoid hard centers.
  • For vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond or coconut milk and substitute evaporated and condensed milk with vegan versions.
  • Serve immediately with ice to keep the dessert cool and refreshing.
