How to Make Thai Dessert Soup

  1. Rinse tapioca pearls under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine tapioca pearls and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tapioca pearls are translucent and cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup sugar. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  5. Let the tapioca cool completely.
  6. Prepare your fruit: Slice strawberries and dice other fruits. Leave smaller berries whole.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and vanilla extract (or other flavoring extract) until sugar is dissolved.
  8. Select 4 attractive chilled bowls.
  9. Divide tapioca pearls (or tofu/jelly cubes) evenly among the bowls.
  10. Divide the prepared fruit into each bowl.
  11. Pour the sweetened milk over the fruit and tapioca.
  12. Chill the desserts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  13. Garnish with edible flowers or marshmallow flowers before serving. If using flowers, ensure they are pesticide-free.
