• 1 cup Fresh kiwis, diced
• 1 cup Canned lychees, drained and chopped
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Crushed ice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse 1 cup of large tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.

Step 3

Cook the tapioca pearls for 20-25 minutes, or until they become translucent with a tiny opaque center. Stir frequently during cooking.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit in the hot water for an additional 5 minutes to fully cook through.

Step 5

Drain the cooked tapioca pearls in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse them under cold running water until they are completely cool. Set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

Step 7

Add the cooled tapioca pearls to the milk mixture and stir gently to combine.

Step 8

Fold in 1 cup each of diced strawberries, diced mango, diced kiwis, chopped canned lychees, and mini marshmallows. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. If desired, add 1 cup of crushed ice for a refreshing touch.

Step 11

Serve chilled in individual bowls or cups. Enjoy this creamy, fruity, and chewy dessert!
