Ingredients
- ½ cup large tapioca pearls (75 g)
- ½ cup coconut milk (120 ml), or cream
- 1 tea bag green tea
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 kiwifruit
Instructions
-
Check the cooking instructions on the bag of tapioca that you are using: some have to be soaked (overnight) first, other types of tapioca can be boiled right away. Then add the (soaked) tapioca to a large saucepan and add 3 cups (720 ml) of water.
-
Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring the tapioca to a boil. Stir and put a lid on the pan. Turn the heat lower to medium. Cook the tapioca for 20 minutes. Stir regularly. Make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Add extra water if necessary.
-
Once the tapioca is almost tender, take the pan off the heat and drain the tapioca in a colander or sieve. Pour the cream in the same saucepan and add the caster sugar and the bag of green tea.
-
Place the pan over medium heat again and bring it to a light simmer. Don’t let the cream boil. Simmer the cream for 10 minutes. Then take the pan off the heat and let the teabag cool in the cream for another 5 minutes. Then remove the teabag and combine the drained tapioca and cream.
-
Stir and place the tapioca over medium heat for another 5 minutes. Check the seasoning and add extra sugar to taste if necessary. Also add extra cream if you want the pudding to be runnier.
-
Peel the kiwifruit and chop it up. Scoop the tapioca pudding into bowls and garnish with the kiwifruit and sesame seeds. Serve lukewarm.
