Ingredients:
- 2 cups tapioca pearls
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Pinch of salt
- Grated coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Cinnamon powder (optional, for garnish)
- Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water and drain them well.
- In a large saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Gradually add the tapioca pearls to the simmering coconut milk, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the tapioca pearls, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and soft, about 20-25 minutes. The mixture should thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the tapioca pearls are cooked through, remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
- Transfer the Cuscuz de Tapioca to individual serving bowls or a large serving dish.
- Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 1-2 hours to chill and set.
- Serve the chilled Cuscuz de Tapioca garnished with grated coconut and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder if desired.
