Ingredients
  

1/2 cup small pearl tapioca

2 cups coconut milk

1 cup water

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, as per preference)

Fresh mango or pineapple (for topping, optional)

Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Soak the Tapioca: In a medium bowl, combine the tapioca pearls with 1 cup of water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes until they swell up slightly. Drain and set aside.

    Cook the Tapioca: In a saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tapioca pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens.

      Add Flavor: Once the pudding reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut, mixing well to combine.

        Chill the Pudding: Transfer the tapioca pudding into individual serving bowls. Cover with plastic wrap or lids, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cooled.

          Serve: Once chilled, serve the coconut tapioca pudding topped with fresh mango or pineapple chunks if desired. Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
