Instructions

  1. Start by boiling whole milk (or the same amount of water if your prefer). 
  2. Meanwhile, combine minute tapioca, sugar, both coconut flakes and coconut milk, and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk in a large heat proof bowl or pirex.
  3. Next, add the boiling milk or water and stir well until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.
  4. Immediately transfer the mixture to a 10-cup wet ring pan, level the mixture, cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
  5. Last, carefully run a paring knife around the edges to loosen the cake, place a serving plate on top, and invert the cake in order to unmold.
  6. Serve chilled and topped with the remaining sweetened condensed milk (½ can) and a sprinkle of coconut flakes. Garnish cake if desired (I garnished mine with berries and lime rinds).  

Notes

  • chilled
  • fruit compotes/sauce, lemon curd, melted guava paste, or your favorite caramel/milk chocolate sauce instead. 
  • traditional topping
  • If desired, serve tapioca cake chilled topped with fruit compotes/sauce, lemon curd, melted guava paste, or your favorite caramel/milk chocolate sauce instead. 
  • If you decide to top with the traditional topping (sweetened condensed milk and coconut flakes), I suggest to sprinkle a bit of fresh lime rinds to add a bit of acidity and extra flavor to the cake. You can even squeeze the juice of ½ lime over the topping.   
  • Minute Tapioca as Tapioca Flour has a long shelf life but when mixed with other ingredients has its life shortened. This is why any leftovers of this tapioca cake must be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. 
  • In addition, also try out shrimp tapioca crepes .
