Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, finely diced
- 1.23 cups (10 fluid ounces) coconut milk
- 3/4 cup small tapioca pearls
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup coconut jellies (nata de coco), drained
Liquid Component:
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry base by blending half of the diced strawberries with coconut milk and sugar until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate the mixture to enhance its chilled temperature.
- Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Carefully add tapioca pearls and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
- After boiling, remove the pot from heat and cover with a lid. Allow the pearls to steam for an additional 10 minutes, which helps them become translucent and achieve the perfect soft texture.
- Drain the cooked tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh strainer, then rinse thoroughly under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
- Transfer the chilled strawberry mixture from the refrigerator and gently fold in the drained tapioca pearls, remaining diced strawberries, and coconut jellies.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of water or additional coconut milk until reaching the desired thickness. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Serve the dessert immediately in chilled glasses or bowls, ensuring a refreshing and visually appealing presentation. Enjoy cold for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Chill ingredients thoroughly to enhance the dessert’s cooling sensation and blend flavors more effectively.
- Rinse tapioca pearls carefully to remove excess starch, preventing clumping and ensuring a smooth, silky texture.
- Adjust sweetness by using alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia for a diabetic-friendly version, maintaining the dessert’s delightful taste.
- Consider using plant-based milk alternatives like almond or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly variation without compromising the creamy consistency.
