Warm Coconut Apple Tapioca Pudding
This dessert makes the perfect finish for an Asian-themed meal. For a smoother texture, enjoy it served warm. If preferred, allow it to thicken and serve cold.
Cooking Instructions
1. Place tapioca in large bowl. Cover with warm water and allow to sit for about 1 hour to soften. Drain and rinse the pearls.
2. In a large saucepan heat apple juice over medium heat. Add sugar and salt and stir to dissolve.
3. Add coconut milk and tapioca pearls. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes or until pearls are tender.
4. Stir in chopped apple.
5. Pour pudding into 6 individual dessert dishes and allow to cool just slightly if serving warm. Otherwise, cover and keep in refrigerator until serving.
6. If desired, serve garnished with a twist of lime peel, a drizzle of lime juice and a very thinly sliced apple wedge.
