Crack the crust and dig for pearly treasure of the fruity kind. Using sago pearls makes this decadent dessert (perfect for Christmas) gluten-free.

Ingredients

80 g sago pearls

250 ml (1 cup) skim milk

250 ml (1 cup) Trident canned light coconut milk

250 ml (1 cup) water

2 tbsp caster sugar or granulated sugar substitute

¼ tsp vanilla bean paste

450 g packet frozen mixed berries

1 pinch ground cinnamon

Meringue

3 eggwhites, at room temperature

80 g (⅓ cup) caster sugar

Method

  1. Put sago, skim milk, coconut milk, water and sugar in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes or until sago is translucent and the mixture thickens. Add vanilla bean paste and stir. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Divide mixture evenly between 8 small heatproof serving glasses or dishes. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, put frozen berries and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until Mixture is warmed through. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes to allow berries to soften. Pour berry Mixture into a shallow dish. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool. Spoon cooled berry mixture over sago mixture. Cover and Refrigerate puddings for 4 hours or until well chilled.
  3. Remove dishes from the fridge about 30 minutes before you are ready to serve. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan-forced).
  4. Using electric beaters, whisk eggwhites in a large bowl on medium until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking Well after each addition. Increase speed to high and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
  5. Spoon or pipe eggwhite mixture evenly over berry mixture. Put dishes on an oven tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the meringue is light golden brown on top. Serve.
