Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small honeydew melon cubed
  • 400 g coconut milk
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 200 g tapioca pearls or sago pearls
  • Water for boiling tapioca

Method
 

  1. Cut the honeydew melon in half, remove seeds, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Set aside.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls.
  3. Cook the pearls according to package instructions until translucent and chewy, stirring occasionally.
  4. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Add the cooked tapioca pearls to the coconut milk mixture and mix gently.
  7. Spoon the sago mixture into serving bowls and top with fresh honeydew cubes.
  8. Chill briefly if desired, then serve cold.

Notes

For best texture, avoid overcooking the tapioca pearls. Serve well chilled for a more refreshing dessert.
