Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Sago
  1. Begin by bringing a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the small tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn fully transparent.
  2. Remove the cooked tapioca pearls from heat and pour them into a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and remove excess starch.
  3. In a blender, combine half of the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, regular milk, and strawberry jam. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture over the cooked tapioca pearls in the bowl, stirring gently to combine flavors.
  5. Add the remaining chopped strawberries, coconut jellies, and sweetened condensed milk to the bowl. Gently fold together to ensure even distribution.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about an hour for a chilled treat.
