Ingredients

  • 13.52 fl oz coconut milk full fat kind
  • 13.52 fl oz water cold
  • 2 large mangos ripened, peeled and diced
  • 1 Dragon Fruit peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup tapioca pearls small uncooked kind (do not use minute tapioca)
  • 1.76 oz yellow rock sugar or substitute with cane sugar and add to taste!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In small pot, add coconut milk with cold water and yellow rock sugar. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat for 5 minutes until sugar has dissolved. Stir occasionally. You’ll know when you no longer see the sugar or hear it rattling in the pot. Turn off heat, transfer the liquid to a heatproof container and store it in the freezer to cool it down.
  2. In a medium size pot of water (about 5 cups of water), bring to a boil on high heat. Once the hot water reaches boiling point, add tapioca pearls. Reduce to medium heat or to a rolling boil, boil for 10 minutes uncovered. Stir occasionally. Then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for another 10 minutes until the pearls have softened and are completely translucent. If you see a small white dot in the center of the pearls, let them sit in the hot water covered for another 2-3 minutes to become fully translucent. 
  3. Strain cooked tapioca in a fine sieve and rinse under cold running water. Strain out as much excess water as possible.
  4. Divide diced mango, pitaya and strained tapioca between four serving bowls. Pour cold coconut milk over top and enjoy!
