Best 4 Thai Coconut Tapioca Pudding With Cayenne Spiced Mango Recipes

TROPICAL THAI COCONUT-TAPIOCA PUDDING

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.

THAI TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• RINSE tapioca in sieve or strainer under cold water 15 to 20 seconds.
• BRING water to boil in small saucepan. Add tapioca; cook 10 to 12 minutes on medium heat until tapioca is translucent, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Stir in coconut milk, sugar and salt. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until pudding thickens slightly, stirring frequently.
• LET stand 20 minutes. Serve warm or refrigerate until chilled. Serve with mango slices or lychee, if desired.

COCONUT TAPIOCA WITH PINEAPPLE, MANGO, AND LIME

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, coconut milk, and vanilla and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir in the tapioca, decrease the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the tapioca is softened. The tapioca will become translucent and will no longer have a white center when it is fully cooked.
• 2. Meanwhile, put the pineapple (either fresh or canned with juice) and the apple juice concentrate in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Using a small paring knife, split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and scrape the seeds into the juice.
• 3. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer the juice and fruit for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the juice becomes thick and syrupy. It will thicken up and boil a little slower as it reduces. Watch out that it does not over-boil or burn; you may need to decrease the heat as it thickens. Remove from the heat and strain the pineapple from the juice. Put the pineapple in a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
• 4. Remove the tapioca from the heat and stir in the reduced juice and the salt. Transfer the tapioca mixture to a bowl, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it cools completely, at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• 5. Right before serving, fold about half of the diced mango and the lime juice into the tapioca. Divide the pudding evenly into clear glasses. Fold the remaining mango into the reserved chopped pineapple. Spoon the fruit on top of the pudding to cover in an even layer. Garnish with a little grated lime zest. Serve immediately.
