This is a very simple dessert that can easily prepared. It is a very popular dessert in Thailand and is often served at the end of a meal. I really like the texture of the sago and the coconut milk. It is very smooth and refreshing. It is a perfect dessert for summer (Although we are going into winter in Australia).

Ingredients:

• 50g sago (Can be found in coles or woolworths, but its called “tapioca pearl”)
• 300ml coconut milk
• 20g Gelatine powder
• 30g sugar
• some shredded coconut (optional)

Steps:

1. Boil sago in water for 5-7 minutes, without lid.
2. Cover the pot with lid and simmer for 30 minutes, to allow the sago to absorb the water.
3. Drain the sago and rinse with cold water.
4. Mix the gelatine powder with 100ml of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Heat the coconut milk and sugar in a pot until the sugar is dissolved, no need to be boiled.
6. Add the gelatine mixture into the coconut milk and stir until the gelatine is dissolved.
7. Add the sago into the coconut milk and stir.
8. Pour the mixture into a container and let it cool down.
9. Put the container into the fridge for the whole night.
10. Cut the pudding into pieces and serve with shredded coconut. You can even bake the shredded coconut to make it more crispy.

The one I made is a bit too soft, I think I should add more gelatine powder, as I only used 5-10g this time. But it still tastes good.
