Method
- Bring water, pandan, sugar, and salt to a simmer, then add the ube cubes and cook until they are nearly tender.
- Add the glutinous rice balls and stir gently from the bottom so they do not stick together or catch on the pot.
- When the rice balls float, pour in coconut milk and keep the heat at a quiet simmer.
- Add saba and jackfruit and cook only until the banana is tender but still holds its shape.
- Fold in the cooked sago, then stir in coconut cream and simmer until the broth turns violet and lightly coats a spoon.
- Taste for sweetness and salt; loosen with hot water if the starch has made the dessert thicker than desired.
- Rest 10 minutes and serve warm, or chill completely for a cold dessert.
