Making Samoan Sua Esi (Pawpaw with Coconut Cream!!!)❤😋♥😋

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

tapioca pearls

🥗Healthier: sago

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Sago is a similar texture and more affordable.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides sweetness with additional flavor.

fruit toppings

🥗Healthier: dried fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Canned fruit is often less expensive and readily available.

Soak the tapioca pearls in water to soften them before cooking.

Scrape the seeds from the pawpaw (fruit) using a spoon until smooth and lump-free.

Add the soaked tapioca pearls to the bowl with the pawpaw.

Cook the mixture, stirring every two minutes to prevent sticking at the bottom.

Add coconut cream and brown sugar to the mixture, adjusting the sugar to taste.

Add pandan leaves to enhance the flavor of the dish.
