🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 500 g granulated tapioca
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 500 ml hot whole milk
  • 200 g shredded coconut
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine granulated tapioca and sugar in a large mixing bowl until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Gradually pour in the hot milk, stirring continuously until the mixture turns smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Cover and let rest for 10 minutes so the tapioca can absorb the liquid and swell.

  4. 4

    Stir in the shredded coconut and coconut milk until fully and evenly incorporated.

  5. 5

    Generously coat the base of a mold with sweetened condensed milk, then pour in the tapioca mixture.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, unmold onto a serving plate, and serve well chilled.

💡 Chef's Tip

Run a thin knife around the edges before unmolding to ensure a clean release. Top with toasted coconut flakes for an elegant finish.
