Mango Coconut Tapioca Ingredients
Method
Mango Coconut Tapioca Directions
Prepare the Tapioca
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls and cook according to package instructions, usually about 15 minutes or until they become translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Make the Coconut Mixture
In another saucepan, combine 2 cups of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warmed through but not boiling.
Combine and Simmer
Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and add them to the coconut mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Scoop into serving bowls, top with diced mango, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve warm or chilled.
