Coconut Tapioca Pudding (vegan)
Description
Coconut Tapioca Pudding (vegan) blends small pearl tapioca soaked briefly in water then cooked slowly in full-fat canned coconut milk with a pinch of sea salt. After simmering until thickened, it is sweetened with pure maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract. The gentle simmering softens the tapioca pearls to a tender, somewhat chewy consistency while the coconut milk imparts a creamy, subtly sweet base. The pudding can be served warm or chilled and is topped with fresh sliced bananas, blueberries, kiwi, almonds, and additional coconut milk, adding texture and freshness. This plant-based dessert offers a creamy mouthfeel without dairy and highlights tropical coconut balanced by natural sweetness and fruit toppings.
