Mango & Tapioca Pudding

Mango & Tapioca Pudding

This is a delicious, refreshing dessert that hits the spot on a hot and humid summer day. Mango pulp is easy to make with a ripe mango that is blended with sugar. But, lucky for me, the pulp of alphonso mangoes is available in cans at the Indian market which saves me the time it would take to peel, cube and blend a fresh mango. The mango pulp is sweet enough for me but, if need be, more sugar can be added according to taste.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup tapioca pearls

8 cups water

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup sweetened mango pulp

1/8 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat and add tapioca pearls.
2. Cook tapioca until transparent for about 10 minutes & strain.
3. Bring coconut milk, mango pulp and salt to a simmer.
4. Add strained tapioca and stir well.
5. Chill in the fridge overnight and serve, garnished with fresh mango pieces.
