Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
Soak 1 cup of tapioca pearls in a bowl of water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca pearls and 2 cups of coconut milk over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring slowly for about 15 minutes until the tapioca pearls become translucent.
Remove from heat and stir in diced strawberries, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
Spoon the dessert into serving bowls or cups and serve warm or chilled, garnished with extra diced strawberries or toasted coconut.
Notes
Soak the tapioca pearls for a full 30 minutes for even cooking. Adjust sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
