Coconut Tapioca Pudding (vegan)

This vegan coconut tapioca pudding uses small pearl tapioca soaked and cooked in full-fat coconut milk sweetened with pure maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract. The pudding becomes thick and creamy with a subtle coconut richness and soft tapioca texture. Served with fresh fruit and nuts, it makes a satisfying dairy-free dessert or snack with natural sweetness and tropical notes.

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.
