Thai Tapioca Pudding Dessert Khanom Tako

Tapioca pudding is a delicious sweet pudding dessert popular among various Asian countries and cultures, including Thailand. This is made up of tapioca pearls which are derived from the cassava plant which, once cooked, become a delightful soft consistency and pair wonderfully with creamy coconut milk. A breeze to prepare, this tapioca pudding is the perfect treat to satisfy a sweet tooth craving while providing some nutrients too, since tapioca pearls are a natural source of carbohydrates but also low in fat and sodium.

The tapioca recipe alone is perfect to eat once prepared but optionally you can add the tropical flavours and fragrance of fresh Thai yellow mango and fresh mint leaves to garnish. And while this dish is traditionally a dessert option, you can also enjoy Thai tapioca pudding as a snack during a hot summer’s day or for a quick but energy packed breakfast.
