Coconut Tapioca Pudding

Coconut Tapioca Pudding is a creamy, delightful Thai dessert that combines the chewiness of tapioca pearls with the rich flavor of coconut milk. This dairy-free treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while offering a taste of exotic flavors.

Ingredients

• Tapioca pearls - 60 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Water - 250 ml
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mango (for topping) - 1/2 medium, diced

Steps

1. Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water to remove excess starch, then set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and tapioca pearls, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tapioca pearls become translucent.
4. Add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
6. Serve warm or chilled in bowls, topped with diced mango.
