Ingredients
  

For the Tapioca Base
  • 1 cup Tapioca Pearls Use small pearls for the best chewy texture.
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk Adds a rich, tropical creaminess.
  • 1 cup Milk Substitute with almond milk for a nutty twist.
For the Fruit and Sweetness
  • 2 cups Strawberries Fresh or blended; ripe delivers the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry Jam Enhances berry essence; can swap for other fruit jams.
  • 1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitutable with honey or omitted.
For Extra Texture
  • 1 cup Coconut Jellies (Nata de Coco) Provides delightful chewiness; replace with fruit jellies or boba.

Equipment

  • medium pot
  • fine mesh strainer
  • Blender
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pearls turn translucent.
  2. Once fully cooked, drain the tapioca pearls using a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold running water to remove excess starch.
  3. In a blender, combine half of the chopped strawberries with coconut milk, milk, and strawberry jam. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the blended creamy base over the tapioca pearls in a mixing bowl. Gently stir to mix everything together.
  5. Stir in the remaining chopped strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies until well mixed.
  6. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a cooler treat.
