Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 and ½ cups unsweetened non-dairy milk I used soy milk
- ½ cup small tapioca pearls not instant tapioca
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, stir together the coconut milk, non-dairy milk, tapioca pearls, sugar, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tapioca pearls have plumped and softened. The tapioca pearls will become almost entirely translucent, resulting in a thick and creamy pudding. Cooking times vary by brand, so check package instructions and monitor closely for perfect texture.
- Remove the pot from heat. Add the vegan butter and vanilla, stirring until the butter melts and blends smoothly into the pudding.
- Transfer the pudding into small glasses or a big bowl. Serve either warm or chilled. If serving warm, let it cool for a few minutes before enjoying. If you prefer it cold, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight until fully chilled.
Notes
- Use a non-stick saucepan: Using a non-stick saucepan can help prevent the pudding from sticking and burning on the bottom during cooking.
- Stir frequently: Stir the pudding regularly while it cooks to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking to the bottom or clumping together.
- Adjust sweetness to taste: Taste the pudding as it cooks. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more sugar or your favorite sweetener to suit your taste.
- Let it thicken: Don’t rush the simmering process. Give the pudding time to thicken properly, ensuring the pearls become tender and the texture is creamy.
- Cover your pudding with a sheet of plastic wrap: Placing it directly on the pudding's surface prevents a skin from forming as it cools.
