Categories     Dessert

Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup/4 ounces tapioca (seed or Asian pearl tapioca)
3 cups water (divided)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (13.5 ounces) can coconut milk (or "lite" coconut milk)
Garnish: table syrup (or maple syrup to serve)
Optional: 1 fresh mango (sliced)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, cover tapioca with 1 cup water.
  • Let soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until the granules expand slightly. Avoid over-soaking or the tapioca will not be able to hold its shape.
  • Pour off excess water.
  • In a pot with a lid, combine tapioca, salt, and the remaining 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding a little more water if necessary to prevent tapioca from bubbling and "spitting."
  • When the tapioca turns soft and a little gooey, turn off the heat and place the lid on tight. Let it sit at least 10 minutes. The residual heat inside the tapioca will finish turning all of the seeds soft and translucent.
  • Remove the lid and allow the tapioca to cool on the stovetop.
  • Cover it again and refrigerate until it's cold; it will thicken and gel together.
  • To serve, scoop about 1/4 cup or more of the cold tapioca per person and place in serving glasses or bowls.
  • Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut milk over each portion and stir to mix. This pudding should be on the runny side and you will have to stir it well to distribute the tapioca.
  • Add a little syrup to each portion (about 1 tablespoon or to taste). Each person can add more according to their preferred sweetness.
  • Add slices of fresh mango or any tropical fresh fruit, if desired.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING



Coconut Tapioca Pudding image

I have always loved tapioca pudding and coconut, so this dish is perfect for me! One time, for a 'Southeast Asian Cuisine Night,' I served this as dessert alongside pho, spring rolls, and steamed dumplings. For a Southeast Asian touch, top the pudding with chopped mango or chopped peanuts.

Glazed Coconut Rice Pudding With Tropical Fruit image

Provided by Elka Gilmore

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup cooked short-grain rice (preferably Japanese sticky rice)
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split
5 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup white rum
3 cups sliced tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, mango, papaya)

Steps:

  • Place rice in a saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Set aside, covered, 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk, 1/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan. Scald, then remove from heat. Remove the vanilla bean.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar. Add the scalded coconut-milk mixture, a little at a time at first, and mix well with the egg yolks. Return to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until custard begins to thicken and coat the spoon. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat, and continue stirring for 1 minute.
  • Strain the custard into a bowl, and stir in salt and two tablespoons of the rum. Fold in rice, cover and chill until very cold, at least 4 hours.
  • Whip the remaining cream until stiff, then fold into the rice and custard mixture. Spread the pudding in an oven-proof dish, about 9 inches square, that can go to the table. Refrigerate until just before serving.
  • Mix fruit and remaining rum.
  • Preheat broiler. Sprinkle remaining sugar on the surface of the pudding, and place under a broiler just until top is lightly browned. Serve at once, with fruit on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tropical fruits: The sweetness and flavor of the fruits play a crucial role in the overall taste of the pudding. Opt for ripe fruits with vibrant colors and a fragrant aroma.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk is richer and creamier, resulting in a more decadent pudding. If using canned coconut milk, ensure it's unsweetened.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference: The recipe provides a moderate level of sweetness. Feel free to add more sugar or honey to suit your taste.
  • Chill the pudding adequately: Chilling the pudding allows it to set properly and develop its flavors. Overnight chilling is recommended.
  • Garnish with fresh fruits and herbs: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh tropical fruit slices, chopped nuts, or aromatic herbs like mint or basil for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Indulge your taste buds with this luscious Coconut Pudding with Tropical Fruits, a delightful fusion of creamy coconut and vibrant tropical flavors. The pudding's smooth and velvety texture, complemented by the sweet and tangy fruits, makes it a tropical paradise in every bite.
