Bubur Cha Cha (Malaysian Sweet Potato Coconut Dessert)

Bubar Cha Cha is one of the most colorful and fragrant Malaysian desserts, immersed in an eclectic variety of sweet potatoes. It can be served both hot or chilled, but I loooove having it as the fall weather starts to kick in!


Ingredients:

  • 2 small regular sweet potatoes (the orange ones)

  • 2 small purple sweet potatoes

  • Taro root, about the same amount as 2 sweet potatoes

  • 1 can of coconut milk

  • 4 tbsp of sugar of choice

  • 4 tbsp of clear tapioca pearls (sago)

  • 1 pandan leaf

Instructions:

  1. Skin the sweet potatoes and taro then cube them

  2. Transfer the sweet potatoes and taro to a pot, add just enough water to cover them and bring to a boil

  3. Once boiling, bring the heat down to a continual simmer and add in the tapioca pearls and pandan

  4. Once the tapioca pearls start to turn clear, mix in the coconut milk and your sugar of choice

  5. Allow it to chill a bit before serving it with some ube pillows!
