There’s something about tapioca pudding that seems so kid-like to me. Not that adults don’t also love this creamy, coconut flavored pudding, but the act of plunging your spoon deep down into the bottom of the cup and pulling up some sweet, juicy strawberries to accompany the tapioca on top — all in the same bite — carries with it an anticipation that I associate almost completely with how excited I used to get as a kid to savor my desserts. This dish irresistable to me. In fact, typing this is making me so hungry I think I need to stop and have some! I guess I’m still just a kid at heart.

Did you make this recipe?Mention @Weelicious or tag #weelicious!
Could i use brown sugar? Same measurement?
I wouldn’t use the flour, i would use the pearls. I couldn’t find them anywhere either so i went straight to Bob’s Red Mill website and bought a bag online
Did this with fresh ripe mango. My family won’t eat it, but I loved it, and I passed this on to my brother, who always complains that desserts are too sweet.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I just started on a 4 day rotation diet due to food intolerances. Tapioca is the only starch I can have on day one and I was clueless as what to do with it. Luckily coconut was on my list for day one as well. Unfortunately strawberries were not 🙁 I had it for breakfast and topped it with some sliced banana and some cashews. It was delicious! This is definitely going to be a staple for me 😉
I love Tapioca!
I’m definite trying this! Love it!
I’ve had tapioca in my pantry, perfect! … I can’t wait to try this. probably with peaches, though. our farmer’s market hasn’t had strawberries for over a month 🙁
