Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for Mango Tapioca Dessert:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Soak Tapioca:
- Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water. In a bowl, soak the tapioca pearls in water for at least 30 minutes or according to package instructions.
- Cook Tapioca:
- After soaking, drain the tapioca pearls. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the drained tapioca pearls and cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the tapioca pearls become translucent, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare Coconut Milk Mixture:
- In another saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.
- Combine Tapioca and Coconut Milk:
- Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain any excess water. Add the cooked tapioca to the coconut milk mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- Cool the Mixture:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tapioca mixture cool to room temperature. You can refrigerate it for faster cooling.
- Prepare Mangoes:
- Peel, pit, and dice the ripe mangoes into small cubes.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- In serving glasses or bowls, layer the tapioca and coconut mixture with diced mangoes. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the mango tapioca dessert for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your delicious mango tapioca dessert!
