Project Description
Tapioca Pudding w/ Cherries & Redcurrants
Serves: 3 BIG ice-cream glasses or 6 normal
Ingredients:
- 750 gr cherries
- 175 gr redcurrants
- 1/2 cup tapioca pearls
- 600 ml rice-coconut milk or plant based milk of your choice
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
Step by step:
Part 1:
Tapioca Pudding:
- Soak the tapioca pearls in plain water for 30 min, and then rinse it.
- Put soaked and rinsed tapioca pearls into a pot.
- Cover it with the plant based milk, tapioca should freely swim in the liquid (approx. 400 ml), will add remaining milk as we cook.
- Bring it to a simmer on a medium high heat and stir continuously.
- When tapioca becomes thick, add remaining milk.
- Have it simmering, and stir continuously.
- Add sweetener of your choice, here Agave syrup is used, use the amount to your liking.
- The tapioca pudding is ready, when all pearls are translucent and they formed pudding, which is around 20 to25 minute mark.
- Turn off the heat.
- Pour it into your favorite glasses and let it cool, then refrigerate.
Part 2:
Cherry – Redcurrant Topping
- Wash redcurrants and remove their strings, keeping just the fruits.
- Wash and pit the cherries.
- Place them in to a food processor.
- Add Agave syrup, around 4 tbsp, adjust it to your liking. You can use other sweetener of your choice.
- Pulse it 3 to 4 times. Fruits should be broke down into pieces not a puree.
- Pour processed fruits into a bowl.
- Add 3 tbsp chia seeds, and mix it well.
- Let it rest in the fridge until it reaches jelly like consistency, about 1 hour. With longer resting time, it will become thicker. Therefore, if you like your fruits in this dessert to be more like a jelly, leave them mixed with chia seeds in the fridge overnight. In case a compote consistency is your choice, 1 hour in the fridge is sufficient (as in this video).
Assembling the Tapioca Pudding w/ Cherries&Redcurrants
- Take out tapioca pudding and fruits from the fridge.
- Pour the fruits on to the tapioca pudding.
- Decorate it with few green leaves of lemon grass, or mint.
- Serve immediately or store it in the fridge.

NOTE1: This dessert is very versatile. You can eat tapioca pudding warm, or cold. You can eat it itself, or with any topping that you like, for example: strawberries, blueberries, mango puree, or chocolate sauce.
NOTE2: If you do not have a food processor, chop the fruits with a knife and mash them with a fork. Mix them with a sweetener and leave it until they release juice.
