Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups small tapioca pearls
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cups coconut milk
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups mango, diced
- 1 cups strawberries, diced
- 1 cups kiwi, diced
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook the tapioca pearls for 10-12 minutes or until they turn translucent, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, remove from heat and drain the pearls using a fine mesh strainer. Rinse them under cold water to cool and set aside.
In a separate saucepan, combine the whole milk, coconut milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the cooked tapioca pearls into the milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
To serve, divide the chilled tapioca mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
Top each bowl with a mix of diced mango, strawberries, and kiwi.
Garnish with mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
