Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup small pearl tapioca (I use this brand)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 15-ounce can lite coconut milk
2-3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup*
1/8 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract*
Diced strawberries (pomegranate arils, and an extra drizzle of honey for serving (optional) (or whatever fruit you like, really!))

Steps:

Add pearl tapioca to a medium saucepan. Add almond milk. Let soak, off burner, for 30 minutes.
Add coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, salt, and vanilla if using paste (if using extract, add after cooking).
Place pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Taste and add additional honey if you desire a sweeter tapioca.
Pour into heat-proof individual containers. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
Serve topped with fresh fruit and an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.
