Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Place tapioca and coconut milk in a medium saucepan and let soak for 30 minutes.
- Add sugar and salt to the tapioca mixture, and heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let simmer very gently for 15 minutes until tapioca pearls are transparent and the mixture has thickened. Be sure to stir frequently so that the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom. Once done, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Pour into cups and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 3 hours. The pudding will thicken after refrigeration.
- Serve with sliced fresh fruit/fruit puree and coconut chips if desired.
- Tapioca is best the same day it's made, but will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
COCONUT TAPIOCA
Steps:
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1/3 cup large tapioca pearls, partially cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pearls are translucent, about 40 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and a pinch of salt until dissolved. Transfer to a bowl and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let cool, then cover and chill at least 2 hours. Top with diced mango and drizzle with mango nectar.
COCONUT TAPIOCA
Steps:
- Put the 3 cups coconut milk and the water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the tapioca and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring, until the tapioca Becomes translucent and soft, 10 to 15 minutes for tiny pearls, longer for larger tapioca pearls. Meanwhile, slice the bananas lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise in half; if using regular bananas, cut each half into thirds or quarters. Gently stirring, add the bananas, sugar and salt to the tapioca and cook for 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat. While the bananas are cooking, put sesame seeds in a small heavy skillet and dry-roast over medium-high heat, shaking constantly, until light brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. If using sesame seeds, pound briefly with a mortar and pestle or pulse in a mini-chop 2 or 3three times to release their flavor. Ladle the warm bananas and tapioca into shallow bowls, sprinkle with the toasted mung beans or sesame seeds and serve with extra coconut milk on the side.
Tips:
- Choose ripe papaya with a vibrant orange color and no blemishes for the best flavor and texture.
- To easily scoop out the papaya, cut it in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds and pulp.
- Soak the tapioca pearls in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to soften them.
- Use unsweetened coconut milk to keep the dessert light and refreshing.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener to your liking.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Garnish with fresh mint or basil for a pop of color and freshness.
