Notes
- Tapioca Pearls Selection: Opt for small tapioca pearls for the best texture in your pudding. These pearls become translucent when cooked and offer a delightful chewiness.
- Soaking Time: Soak the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions. This step ensures even cooking and prevents the pearls from becoming mushy.
- Gentle Cooking: Cook the tapioca pearls over medium heat and stir occasionally. Avoid high heat to prevent the pearls from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Mango Ripeness: Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for the ultimate flavor experience. Their sweetness will complement the creamy tapioca pudding.

Cooking Tips

- Gentle Stirring: When cooking the tapioca pearls, stir them gently to prevent sticking. The pearls release starch while cooking, contributing to the pudding’s creamy consistency.
- Controlled Heat: Maintain a medium heat level when cooking the tapioca pearls. This prevents rapid boiling, ensuring even cooking and preventing the pearls from becoming overly soft.
- Mango Technique: When slicing mangoes, use the “hedgehog” technique. Score the mango flesh in a crisscross pattern and then invert the slices. This allows easy separation of the mango cubes.
- Layering Elegance: When layering the pudding in serving glasses, alternate between tapioca pudding and mango cubes for a visually appealing presentation.
- Coconut Milk Infusion: Allow the coconut milk mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over the tapioca pudding. This prevents curdling and helps maintain a silky-smooth texture.
- Toasted Coconut Flakes: For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, toast coconut flakes in a dry pan until golden brown. Sprinkle these over the top of your pudding just before serving.
- Balancing Sweetness: Taste as you go when adding sugar to the pudding. The sweetness of mangoes can vary, so adjust the sugar to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
Serving suggestions

- Mango Flower Artistry: Transform your dessert into a masterpiece by arranging mango slices in the shape of a flower on top of the pudding. It’s a feast for the eyes before it becomes one for the palate.
- Coconut Whipped Cream: Top your pudding with a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra layer of creamy delight that harmonizes perfectly with the flavors.
- Fresh Mint Garnish: Add a touch of freshness by garnishing the pudding with a few sprigs of fresh mint. The aromatic essence of mint complements the tropical flavors.
- Toasted Nuts: Sprinkle toasted chopped nuts, such as almonds or cashews, over the pudding for a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the creamy texture.
- Mango Coulis Drizzle: Drizzle a homemade mango coulis over the pudding for an intensified mango flavor that adds a burst of sweetness with every spoonful.
- Tropical Fruit Medley: Create a dessert medley by serving your Thai Mango Tapioca Pudding alongside other tropical fruits like pineapple, kiwi, or passion fruit.
- Edible Flower Elegance: Elevate the visual appeal by adding edible flowers like hibiscus petals or pansies. They add a touch of elegance and whimsy to your creation.
