Tapioca Pudding with Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potato

    In a medium pot, add the cubed sweet potato and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tapioca Pearls

    In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of coconut milk to a simmer. Add the tapioca pearls and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the pearls are translucent and tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the tapioca is cooked, stir in the cooked sweet potato, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional coconut milk if desired.
