Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 600 g fresh strawberries, finely diced
Dairy & Coconut
- 400 g coconut milk (1 can)
Sweets & Add-ins
- 50 g granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 150 g small tapioca pearls
- 225 g coconut jellies (nata de coco), drained
Instructions
- Blend: Add 300 g (half) of the diced strawberries, coconut milk, and sugar to a blender. Blend until smooth, tasting and adjusting sugar as needed. Pour the blended mixture into a large serving bowl and chill in the fridge while cooking tapioca.
- Cook tapioca pearls: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil on the stovetop. Add tapioca pearls and stir. Boil uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover, and let pearls steam for another 10 minutes until translucent.
- Drain: Drain the tapioca pearls using a fine mesh sieve. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to halt cooking and remove excess starch. Keep submerged in cold water if not used immediately.
- Mix: Combine the remaining diced strawberries, coconut jellies, and any other optional add-ins with the tapioca pearls in the chilled strawberry-coconut mixture. Stir well. Add water to adjust consistency as desired and serve cold.
Notes
- Adjust sugar levels according to the sweetness of your strawberries.
- Make sure tapioca pearls are fully cooked and translucent before draining.
- Rinsing tapioca pearls with cold water prevents clumping and overcooking.
- This dessert is best served chilled for refreshing taste and texture.
- Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or other fresh fruits can be added for variation.
