👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse tapioca pearls under cold water, then soak them in 50ml of water for 15 minutes to soften. Drain any excess water.
2. In a saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca pearls, 150ml of water, and half of the coconut milk (50ml). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Once simmering and tapioca pearls become mostly translucent, add the remaining coconut milk (50ml), granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves.
4. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. The tapioca pearls should be fully translucent.
5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to serve cold. Garnish with fresh fruit or toasted coconut flakes if desired.
