Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 0.333 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Optional garnish: grated orange zest
Instructions
1. Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and the tapioca pearls. Let the pearls soak for 10 minutes.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
4. Once the pearls begin to turn translucent (about 10 minutes), stir in the coconut milk, cranberries, and maple syrup.
5. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the tapioca pearls are fully translucent and the mixture thickens, about 10 more minutes.
6. Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
8. Spoon the tapioca cream into serving dishes and let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
9. Garnish with grated orange zest before serving, if desired.
