Ingredients
UnitsScale
1/2cup small tapioca pearls
3cups chopped strawberries
1cup coconut milk (any type)
1cup milk
1 tablespoon strawberry jam
1/4cup sweetened condensed milk
1 jar coconut jellies (nata de coco)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add tapioca pearls and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook for 25–30 minutes or until the pearls turn fully translucent, adding more water if needed.
Rinse cooked tapioca under cold water, drain thoroughly, and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In a blender, combine half the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, milk, and strawberry jam. Blend until smooth.
Pour the strawberry-coconut mixture into the bowl with the tapioca pearls.
Stir in the remaining chopped strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies.
Serve immediately for a soft, creamy texture or chill in the fridge for an hour to enjoy cold.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
Chill before serving for a thicker, pudding-like consistency.
Substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Top with extra fruit or mint leaves for a decorative touch.
