Ingredients
- 1 cup small tapioca pearls (sago)
- 4 cups water
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh mango or other fruit (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents them from sticking together.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed tapioca pearls and let them boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, drain the pearls in a fine mesh sieve and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 4
In the same saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the cooked tapioca pearls into the coconut milk mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let the pudding simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tapioca pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Step 7
Once thickened, remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly.
Step 8
For a tropical twist, serve the pudding warm or chilled topped with fresh mango pieces or any fruit of choice.
Step 9
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container; serve chilled.
