Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup small tapioca pearls
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the tapioca pearls by rinsing them with cold water in a fine-mesh sieve.
- Combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the rinsed tapioca pearls to the warm coconut mixture and stir occasionally as they cook, about 15-20 minutes, until transparent.
- Thicken the pudding by removing it from heat once it coats the back of a spoon, then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Serve and enjoy with toppings like fresh fruits, toasted coconut flakes, or honey.
Notes
This pudding tastes best after a day in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir before serving.
