'Es putar' ice cream with pineapple, sago and lime
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.
Ingredients (9)
- 400ml coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (60g) pure icing sugar, sifted
- 250g palm sugar, grated
- 50g unsalted butter
- 400g pineapple, cut into 5mm-thick slices
- 1/4 cup (60g) firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (200g) sago (tapioca – from supermarkets and Asian food shops)
- 1 tbs caster sugar
- Finely grated lime zest, to serve
Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.
CloseMethod
-
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.
