Tapioca Coconut Milk Taro Dessert

This is a surprisingly easy dessert to make and it is delicious!



Ingredients:

Tapioca pearls:
  • ½ cup (60g) tapioca pearls
  • 2.5 cup water
Taro:
  • 1 cup (160g) fresh large taro, cubed 
  • water to boil it
Coconut Milk Mixture:
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup (100g) sugar
First make the coconut milk mixture by adding the milk, coconut milk and sugar. Then bring to a boil and immediately cool it back down.

Then cook the tapioca pearls with the 2.5 cup of boiling water for about 5-10 minutes until they are almost translucent. Remove it from the heat. If you see a small white dot in the pearls, just let it sit for 5-10 minutes covered with a lid. Then rinse it with cold water and a strainer.

Then boil the taro cubes with water until soft. Strain the water.

Then finally mix all the ingredients and let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour.
The end result should be a pretty pure, liquid dessert.
