Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed tapioca pearls, coconut milk, and salt. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tapioca pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cornstarch (if using) together until smooth.

  6. 6

    Add this mixture to the pudding once the tapioca has thickened. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to serving bowls.

  8. 8

    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
