Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Sago pearls
• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (sliced banana, mango, or berries)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sago pearls under cold water in a fine mesh sieve to remove any excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the rinsed sago pearls to the simmering liquid. Stir continuously to prevent the sago from clumping together.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until the sago becomes translucent and tender.

Step 5

Once the sago is cooked, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cardamom powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Spoon the sago pudding into individual serving bowls and let it cool further to your desired temperature.

Step 8

Before serving, top each serving with fresh sliced fruit for added flavor and texture.

Step 9

Enjoy your low sodium sago pudding as a delightful dessert or a comforting snack!
