Auntie Lisa's suafa'i (Samoan tapioca pudding w/bananas and coconut cream) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by รก-39535

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bananas
4 cups water
1/2 cup tapioca
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar
The sugar is optional but I do recommend it. Make sure you pull the inner strings off the bananas before boiling! The riper the banana the stronger the banana flavor.
Our family's personal taste is to use an entire can of purchased coconut milk and reduce the water accordingly. Or if using homemade coconut milk to reduce the water by a half a cup and increase the coconut milk a half a cup.

Steps:

  • Peel the bananas and place in a medium saucepan. Add the water and then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes. Break the bananas up with a wooden spoon, fork or masher. Sprinkle the tapioca into the saucepan while stirring. Add the coconut milk and then simmer over low/medium heat until the tapioca is cooked, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently. Finally, taste the suafa'i. If you like a little more sweetness, then add sugar to taste. Remove from the heat, leave for about 30 minutes to cool and then serve in a bowl or cup. You can also cool suafa'i completely, and refrigerate it. Once cooled, serve it as a snack or dessert.

My Suafai didn't turn out quite as I expected. The tapioca pearls were a bit too chewy and the coconut cream sauce was a bit too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
