Pumpkin Sweet Potatoes Sago Dessert


What to do with extra pumpkin on hand?  Make this!  This idea was suggested by one of my readers and I couldn't agree with her more, so easy to make and so tasty especially with lots of tapioca pearls or sago pearls.

You have to use fresh pumpkin for this.  Just cut it into small pieces along with the sweet potatoes.  You can either steam to soften and cook it or just boil them together in a pot for 20-30 minutes.  Add Chinese brown sugar pieces to taste, add in cooked tapioca pearls and lastly coconut cream.  Stir to mix well.


Good either serve warm or cold.  My hubby loved it cold with crushed ice.  Keep any leftover in the refrigerator and enjoy it cold straight out of the fridge.  This method of cooking is just like BoBoChaCha actually.  So, of course you can add in yam or tapioca strips or plantain or red bean or whatever you think is suitable.

MMm this look so good! I have never heard of chinese brown sugar before though. How is it different from regular brown sugar?

This look very much like bubur cha cha. I've eaten pumpkin cook in many ways but not this way. Great idea.

Can Someone please give me quantities to make enough for four large serves? Thank you

Anon, what do you mean by four large serves? 4 big pots for large group of people or 4 large bowls for 4 people? You just estimate how much they eat and make accordingly. This recipe is very versatile.
