Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 30 mins


• bring a pot of water to a boil. stir the tapioca pearls into the boiling water. reduce heat to medium to keep water at a simmer. cook, stirring frequently to keep the pearls from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the water becomes thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. drain. transfer the tapioca to a large bowl and cover with cold water.
• refill the pot with fresh water and bring to a boil. once the tapioca pearls have cooled, drain the cool water from the bowl and transfer the tapioca to the boiling water. remove the pot from the heat; cook and stir again until the pearls are clear, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. transfer the tapioca to a clean bowl and cover with cold water. if the pearls are not completely clear, repeat the process until they are.
• pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and place over medium heat; bring to a simmer. once the coconut milk is simmering, stir the tapioca into the coconut milk until the pearls are evenly coated. remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely; spoon into the papaya halves. store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
