Durian Sago
Lately, I have been making a lot of sago for after-dinner dessert. Recently I tried durian sago and it is one of my favorite ones so far. It is creamy, stinky, and very relaxing to eat after a big meal. You can eat it right away or freeze it for one hour to stiffen the texture of the tapioca. Personally, I love the flavor of slightly frozen tapioca.
Ingredients
- ½ cup small tapioca pearls
- 1 ½ cups durian flesh (about 400g)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¾ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk (or 1 cup of vanilla ice cream)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil, then add the tapioca pearls. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the pearls become completely translucent. If the tapioca pearls still have a white dot in the center after 30 minutes, just let them cook a little longer until they are fully translucent. When they are done, strain them through a fine sieve and rinse with tap water to remove the excess starches. Soak them in a bowl of cold water to prevent drying out and set aside.
- In a blender, add the durian flesh, evaporated milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth then transfer to a large bowl.
- At this point, it is ready to serve, or you can chill it in the fridge if you prefer it cold. If you like the texture to be more runny, you can add a little more milk or water to thin it out. My favorite way to eat it is to freeze it for one hour. This makes the tapioca stiffer and chewier.
