Coconut Tapioca ~ Baking Chez Moi



Per Nana~ 
This week's selection of Coconut Tapioca pudding was 
so simple to make and the results were delicious. My taste
 tester declared it a winner and I have to agree. Perfect.  
This was my first time using coconut milk and when I first opened the 
can I thought there was something wrong. I did not expect it to be solid inside, 
but it melted nicely when mixed with the other ingredients. 
A quick and easy dessert that will be a repeat. 
Per Tricia~
Dorie shares in this recipe that she didn't have an affinity for 
tapioca pudding when young, and only changed her opinion after 
tasting Pierre Hermé's wonderful rendition in Paris. No surprise. 
For me, tapioca has been a favorite for years - it is the 
coconut that I have come around to enjoying as an adult.
 I can say with certainty that I would not have made tapioca with coconut 
milk if not for this recipe. Simply would not have put two and two together. 
Boy am I glad Dorie did. 
It was a lovely contrast and along with the vanilla extract, really gave 
my usual tapioca a run for its money. And in my opinion, the large pearl 
is the only way to go. We loved this recipe and can't wait till the kids are 
home from college so I can make it for them. A double recipe at least :)

  1. Now, I was expecting mine to be how Nana's looks - creamy - not so gelatinous that you could cut it with a knife! Glad you two enjoyed this one!

  2. So glad others liked this. It was such a hit in my house. I agree that the large pearly is definitely the way to go.

  3. I am glad that I am not the only one who liked this. I love tapioca and rice puddings - give me some of that any day :-)
    Lovely job, ladies.

  4. Yours sure looks creamy! I must find some large tapioca. I couldn't even find small. I had to use the precooked stuff, so I totally altered Dorie's version. Still tasted better than I thought (course, I added chocolate).

  6. Hahaha.. I was surprised that my coconut milk was solid too. Since I'm not much of a coconut fan, I've never used the stuff before, so I ended up googling it see if it was still good. :)
