Keely'S Pumpkin And Sweet Potato Sago Parfait

• 14 ounces pumpkin, peeled and cubed (400 g, use Japanese pumpkin or Kabocha if available)
• 14 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (400 g)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (not traditionally used) (optional)
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup sago
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, sliced open, remove before serving if using)
• chopped peanuts, to garnish

1. Cover the pumpkin and sweet potato with water; bring to a simmer ans simmer, covered for about 30-40 minutes, or until very soft.
2. Bring the coconut milk, water, (vanilla bean, if using), and sugar to a simmer in a different saucepan. Add the sago and simmer over a very low heat, partly covered for about 30 minutes stirring frequently to make sure it isn't sticking to the bottom too much (it probably will a little bit anyway).
3. After 30 minutes remove from heat, stir through the vanilla extract and allow to cool.
4. Strain the pumpkin and sweet potato, reserving the water, add back 1-2 tbsp of the reserved water and then either mash or puree in a food processor until smooth.
5. Pass the puree through a sieve to make it extra smooth and smash out any remaining lumps (this is optional, it just makes sure that your puree is nice and smooth and even consistency) then stir the vanilla extract and cinnamon through and allow to cool completely.
6. Start with a layer of the puree in the bottom of 6 parfait glasses (using about half the puree across the six parfait glasses), follow with a layer of the sago (once again, using about half the sago) and then the remaining puree and sago in layers.
7. Top with chopped peanuts and serve.
