Coconut Tapioca Pudding With Sliced Grapes Recipes

COCONUT TAPIOCA (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Place tapioca and coconut milk in a medium saucepan and let soak for 30 minutes.
• Add sugar and salt to the tapioca mixture, and heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let simmer very gently for 15 minutes until tapioca pearls are transparent and the mixture has thickened. Be sure to stir frequently so that the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom. Once done, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Pour into cups and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 3 hours. The pudding will thicken after refrigeration.
• Serve with sliced fresh fruit/fruit puree and coconut chips if desired.
• Tapioca is best the same day it's made, but will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, lightly beat egg. Add coconut milk, milk, sugar, and tapioca; whisk to combine. Set aside, at least 5 minutes, until tapioca is slightly softened.
• Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil over medium heat; stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let cool until no longer hot, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, 2 to 3 hours (or up to 3 days).
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing once or twice, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes; let cool.
• Just before serving, whisk pudding to loosen. Divide among four serving glasses or dishes; top with pineapple and toasted coconut.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring the tapioca, coconut milk, and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar until dissolved.
• Beat the egg in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, then scrape the egg mixture into the simmering pudding, and stir. Simmer gently until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes , then remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before stirring in the vanilla extract. Serve either warm or chilled.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH SLICED GRAPES

Steps:

• Combine tapioca, milk, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt in a medium saucepan, and place over medium heat until steaming, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard vanilla bean.
• Combine eggs, sugar, and cream of coconut in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Whisking constantly, slowly add half of milk mixture. Return to pot, and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and puddinglike, about 7 minutes. Spoon pudding into four serving dishes, and set aside until ready to serve. Top with grapes and lime zest. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, but the grapes and limezest should be added just before serving.

TROPICAL THAI COCONUT-TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, cover tapioca with 1 cup water.
• Let soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until the granules expand slightly. Avoid over-soaking or the tapioca will not be able to hold its shape.
• Pour off excess water.
• In a pot with a lid, combine tapioca, salt, and the remaining 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding a little more water if necessary to prevent tapioca from bubbling and "spitting."
• When the tapioca turns soft and a little gooey, turn off the heat and place the lid on tight. Let it sit at least 10 minutes. The residual heat inside the tapioca will finish turning all of the seeds soft and translucent.
• Remove the lid and allow the tapioca to cool on the stovetop.
• Cover it again and refrigerate until it's cold; it will thicken and gel together.
• To serve, scoop about 1/4 cup or more of the cold tapioca per person and place in serving glasses or bowls.
• Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut milk over each portion and stir to mix. This pudding should be on the runny side and you will have to stir it well to distribute the tapioca.
• Add a little syrup to each portion (about 1 tablespoon or to taste). Each person can add more according to their preferred sweetness.
• Add slices of fresh mango or any tropical fresh fruit, if desired.

TAPIOCA FRUIT PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak tapioca overnight in enough water to cover.
• Add or remove water so that there is just enough to cover the tapioca. Cook on low-medium heat on stove until almost all pieces are clear.
• Add sugar; stir until dissolved.
• Remove from heat. Add lemon juice.
• Cool mixture in refrigerator. (This is a good place to store it in the refrigerator, if you are trying get work done ahead. It is fine for at least 2 days; I have never tried longer).
• Stir "gel" so that the individual pieces of tapioca are more separated. Add pineapple and grapes.
• Whip the cream and fold in whipped cream and bananas just before serving.
