Coconut Tapioca Pudding image

I have always loved tapioca pudding and coconut, so this dish is perfect for me! One time, for a 'Southeast Asian Cuisine Night,' I served this as dessert alongside pho, spring rolls, and steamed dumplings. For a Southeast Asian touch, top the pudding with chopped mango or chopped peanuts.

AUNTIE LISA'S SUAFA'I (SAMOAN TAPIOCA PUDDING W/BANANAS AND COCONUT CREAM) RECIPE - (4.2/5)



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

Provided by á-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.

TRUVIA COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING



Truvia Coconut Tapioca Pudding image

I'm on a sugar-free, dairy-free diet for health reasons (it was a last resort, believe me!) and got sick of soymilk. This recipe is based on Minute Tapioca's classic recipe for Tapioca Pudding. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Provided by laurenlikesfood

Categories     Dessert

Time 11m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca (I use Let's Do...Organic's Tapioca granules)
4 packets of truvia artificial sweetener
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water (or 1 cup milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, whisk ingredients together.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Then, bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  • Boil gently while stirring for 3 minutes, or until tapioca granules are clear and soft.
  • Remove from heat; add vanilla and coconut if desired. Mixture thickens as it cools.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: If you aren't used to sugar substitutes, you might hate the end result! You can try this recipe with 1/3 cup sugar or 1/4 cup Agave sweetener for a tasty treat. I am using Truvia (like Stevia but a more specific part of the plant?) because it is supposed to be "safe" and is plant-derived. It has a slight, licorice-like aftertaste (not as strong as that of Stevia, thankfully) but the nutmeg helps to balance that. *If you are on a anti-Candida diet, this dessert is particularly good because coconut milk is a natural source of caprylic acid, which helps to kill the little guys off.

Tips:

  • Use canned coconut milk: Canned coconut milk is a convenient and easy way to add a rich, creamy texture and coconut flavor to your pudding. Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your pudding is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Cook the pudding over medium heat: Medium heat will help prevent the pudding from scorching. Stir the pudding constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: Chilling the pudding allows it to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Coconut tapioca pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover tapioca pearls, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your pudding sweet or savory, creamy or firm, there is a coconut tapioca pudding recipe out there for you. So what are you waiting for? Give one of these recipes a try today!
