How to Make Tapioca Fruit Salad

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the tapioca to soften.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool for 30 minutes.
  5. While the pudding cools, prepare the fruit salad. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cubed fresh pineapple, 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 cups cubed mango, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup blackberries.
  6. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the zest and juice of 1 lime to the fruit. Gently stir to combine.
  7. Spoon the cooled tapioca pudding into individual dessert bowls.
  8. Top each serving generously with the tropical fruit salad.
  9. Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set completely. Serve chilled and enjoy!
