Description

A chilled peach sago jelly cake with a creamy coconut milk sago layer, juicy peach pieces, and a glossy peach jelly top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup small sago pearls
  • 4 cups water for boiling sago
  • 1 cup canned peach slices, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup reserved peach syrup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder, divided
  • 1/2 cup cold water, divided
  • 1 package peach jelly powder, about 85 grams
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Place a 6 inch round mold or small loaf pan in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  2. Bring 4 cups water to a boil, add 1/2 cup sago pearls, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until mostly translucent.
  3. Turn off the heat, cover for 5 minutes, then rinse the sago under cool water and drain well.
  4. Line the mold with plastic wrap or use a silicone mold for easy release.
  5. Bloom 1 tablespoon gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water for 5 minutes.
  6. Warm 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 1/4 cup sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  7. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm milk mixture until smooth, then fold in the cooked sago.
  8. Pour the sago mixture into the mold and chill for 45 minutes, or until softly set.
  9. Arrange 1 cup chopped peaches over the set sago layer.
  10. Dissolve 85 grams peach jelly powder in 1 cup hot water.
  11. Bloom the remaining 1 tablespoon gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water, then stir it into the jelly mixture with 1/2 cup reserved peach syrup.
  12. Let the jelly mixture cool for 10 minutes, then pour gently over the peaches and sago layer.
  13. Chill for 3 hours, or until fully firm.
  14. Unmold carefully, slice with a warm clean knife, and serve cold.

Notes

  • Pour the jelly over the back of a spoon to protect the creamy sago layer.
  • Do not cut the cake before it is fully chilled.
  • Use a warm knife and wipe between cuts for cleaner slices.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the jelly and sago may become watery after thawing.
