Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until pearls turn translucent with a slight chew.
  2. Step 2: Drain tapioca pearls and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk and 1/3 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Stir in cooked tapioca pearls, 1 cup ripe mango puree, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1/4 tsp ground chili powder. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Pour pudding into serving glasses and chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired before serving.
