This really is a deliciously healthy snack, dessert or even breakfast. Mango, Pineapple, Lime and Coconut Tapioca is also perfect to freeze. I simply warmed the mixture a little and it was perfect. So double the recipe if you like and freeze what you don’t use for another day – enjoy…
Mango, pineapple, lime, coconut tapioca
Ingredients
- 100 g tapioca pearls
- 60 ml coconut cream
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 lime
- 1 mango , diced
- 1/4 fresh pineapple , peeled, cored and diced
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the tapioca pearls, stirring occasionally to make sure they don't stick. Simmer until they are almost completely transparent with just a small speck of white in the middle (around 10 minutes). Drain and refresh under cold water; set aside
- Combine the coconut cream and maple syrup in a saucepan and heat through until combined; set aside to cool slightly
- Cut the peal from the lime and segment them by cutting as close to the membrane as possible on either side of each natural segment. Work your way around the lime until you have cut all the segments out. Roughly dice the segments
- Combine the lime, mango, pineapple, tapioca and the coconut mixture and stir to combine
- Spoon into individual bowls and serve
Notes
Suitable to freeze;
Omit the maple syrup for younger babies. If you think it is a little tart, try adding a little mashed banana.
If left in the fridge it will set slightly. I warmed the mixture a little and it separated the mixture again Adapted from Lotus Asian Flavours by Teage Ezard

Lime and coconut are one of my fave flavour combos!!! I make something similar but instead of the tapioca I use chia seeds ;-)
Hi Lisa, I will definitely give that a go. I love the flavour combinations, so its good to have a no cooking required option.
Is this for 4 serves? Thank you!!
Hi Cindel, yes it would serve 4 people. Let me know how you go, I love this recipe so much. It is so good.
