Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become translucent.
  2. After the tapioca pearls are fully cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
  3. In a blender, combine half of the chopped strawberries, 1 cup of coconut milk, ½ cup of regular milk, and 3 tablespoons of strawberry jam. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the blended mixture over the cooled tapioca pearls in the bowl. Gently fold in the remaining chopped strawberries, ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup of coconut jellies.
  5. You can enjoy your Strawberry Coconut Tapioca Dessert right away, or refrigerate for at least 1 hour for enhanced flavors.
