Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional)
- Fresh fruit or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the small tapioca pearls under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove excess starch. Let them drain completely.
Add the rinsed tapioca pearls, coconut milk, water, granulated sugar, and salt into the rice cooker. Stir the mixture to combine.
Close the rice cooker lid and turn it on to the 'cook' setting. Stir the mixture every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent the tapioca from clumping or sticking to the bottom.
Check the pearl consistency after 20-25 minutes. The tapioca should become translucent and soft. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Once the tapioca is fully cooked, stir in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut (if using). Turn off the rice cooker and let the pudding sit for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly.
Spoon the pudding into serving bowls. Optionally, top with fresh fruit or nuts for additional texture and flavor.
Serve warm or refrigerate for 1-2 hours and enjoy chilled.
