Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Large tapioca pearls (white or clear)
- 6 cups Water
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) Evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup Fresh mango, diced
- 1 cup Fresh kiwis, diced
- 1 cup Canned lychees, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Crushed ice (optional)
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of large tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
Cook the tapioca pearls for 20-25 minutes, or until they become translucent with a tiny opaque center. Stir frequently during cooking.
Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for an additional 5 minutes to fully cook through.
Drain the cooked tapioca pearls in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse them under cold running water until they are completely cool. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
Add the cooled tapioca pearls to the milk mixture and stir gently to combine.
Fold in 1 cup each of diced strawberries, diced mango, diced kiwis, chopped canned lychees, and mini marshmallows. Mix until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. If desired, add 1 cup of crushed ice for a refreshing touch.
Serve chilled in individual bowls or cups. Enjoy this creamy, fruity, and chewy dessert!
