Pudding and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare Tapioca Pudding

    In a saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls, water, and salt. Let it soak for 30 minutes. After soaking, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat while stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the tapioca pearls become translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Coconut Milk and Sugar

    Stir in the coconut milk, sugar, and kafir lime leaves into the tapioca mixture. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare Exotic Fruit Salad

    While the pudding is cooling, prepare an exotic fruit salad by mixing diced fruits such as mango, pineapple, kiwi, and passion fruit in a bowl. Drizzle with a little lime juice for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the coconut tapioca pudding into serving bowls and top with the exotic fruit salad. Optionally, garnish with additional coconut flakes or mint leaves.
