Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

5 cups milk

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup large pearl tapioca (about 2 ounces)

1/2 vanilla bean -- halved lengthwise

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 cup finely diced papaya

1/2 cup finely diced pineapple

1/2 cup finely diced cantaloupe or other melon

1/2 cup finely diced mango

 

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar and bring to a simmer

over moderate heat. Stir well to thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Add the

tapioca and the vanilla bean and simmer over low heat, stirring often, until

the tapioca is tender but still slightly chewy, about 1 hour.

 

2. Pour the tapioca pudding through a coarse sieve set over a large bowl.

Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean; discard the bean. Stir in 1/3 cup

of the milk in which the tapioca was cooked, then add the coconut milk.

Cover and refrigerate until the pudding is cold and thickened, about 3

hours.

 

3. In a medium glass or ceramic bowl, gently stir together the diced papaya,

pineapple, cantaloupe and mango.

 

4. To serve, spoon the pudding into 4 small bowls and top with the diced

fruit. Alternatively, layer the tapioca pudding and the diced fruit in

parfait glasses. Serve the pudding at once or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

NOTES : Lunetta first ate this fruit-laced, coconut tapioca pudding at a

surfing camp in Indonesia. If you'd prefer a slightly soupier version of

this pudding, stir in up to 1 cup of the cooking milk.
