- 250grams de granulated tapioca
- 1,5cups de granulated sugar
- 1small bottle de coconut milk
- 1/2liters de reduced-fat milk
- 1pinch de salt
- 100grams de dry shredded coconut
- 100grams de sweetened shredded coconut
- sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
In a bowl, place the granulated tapioca (250g).
Dica: Be sure to use pearl/bead tapioca, not pre-hydrated tapioca.
Add the granulated sugar (1 and a half cups) to the tapioca.
Incorporate the coconut milk (1 small bottle) and the lukewarm reduced-fat milk (half a liter) into the mixture.
Dica: The milk should be lightly warmed (about 1 minute in the microwave).
Stir in the dry shredded coconut (100g) and a pinch of salt to the batter.
Dica: Salt helps bring out the sweetness.
Mix all ingredients well until homogenous. The batter will be loose.
Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, covered with a clean dish towel, to allow the tapioca to hydrate.
Dica: Allow the tapioca to absorb the liquid and begin to gain consistency.
After resting, transfer the batter to your desired mold (silicone or a pudding mold greased with butter and shredded coconut).
Dica: If using a traditional pan, grease it with butter and a little shredded coconut.
Refrigerate the tapioca couscous to set overnight (from one day to the next).
Unmold the tapioca pudding onto the serving plate.
Dica: Silicone molds make unmolding easier.
Top the pudding with sweetened condensed milk and sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut (100g of the sweetened kind) over the top.
Dica: After topping, refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set the topping.
