On a recent trip to Indonesia, MasterChef winner Diana Chan tasted a local ice cream dish and fell in love with its texture and mix of flavours, so much so she's recreated it for us here.

  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup (60g) pure icing sugar, sifted
  • 250g palm sugar, grated
  • 50g unsalted butter

Method

  • 1.
    To make the ice cream, whisk coconut milk, icing sugar and 1/2 tsp salt flakes in a bowl. Transfer to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until thick but soft enough to spoon into a container.
  • 2.
    Transfer to a 4-cup (1L) container and freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Alternatively, freeze mixture in ice cube trays, then whiz in a blender until smooth. Serve immediately or freeze for 3-4 hours for a firmer texture.
  • 3.
    To make syrup, place palm sugar and 1 cup (250ml) water in saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and cook for 6 minutes or until reduced by half.
  • 4.
    To cook the pineapple, melt butter in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until beginning to caramelise. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until caramelised.
  • 5.
    To cook the sago, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add sago and caster sugar, and cook for 12 minutes or until sago is just tender (there should still be a speck of white in the centre of each grain). Rinse and drain well.
  • 6.
    Divide sago and pineapple among four 350ml serving glasses. Top with a scoop of coconut ice cream, drizzle with syrup and scatter with lime zest to serve.
