INGREDIENTS
Makes 2 cups
1/3 cup tapioca pearls
1 cup coconut milk (with cream)
1 cup of plant-based milk (coconut, almond or own choice)
1 tbsp brown sugar (or more to taste)
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp rosewater
rose petals, berries or shredded coconut for garnish, optional
TO MAKE
Pour tapioca, coconut milk and plant-based milk into a saucepan and let it soak for 10 minutes or so.
Add sugar and salt to the tapioca mixture and turn heat on medium until mixture simmers. Then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the tapioca pearls are transparent and the mixture is thick and puddingy. Mix frequently to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once done, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and rosewater.
Pour into ramekins or cups. You can serve hot, or chill in the fridge for a few hours to thicken.
Garnish with petals, shredded coconut or berries.
