  • 0.5 cup kiwi fruit fresh chopped

  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 cup pearl tapioca 
  • 0.5  vanilla pod split

Equipment

Directions

  2. Pour through a fine strainer.
  3. Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut milk, 1 cup whole milk, the sugar, and vanilla bean, pressing bean gently to loosen seeds, until steaming, 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir drained tapioca into vanilla mixture. Cook, stirring often, until tapioca pearls are clear and just tender, 3 to 6 minutes.
  5. Let pudding cool, then chill, stirring occasionally, at least 1 1/4 hours.
  6. Remove vanilla bean and stir in more milk if pudding seems too thick.
  7. Spoon pudding into tall glasses. Top with toasted coconut and fresh fruit.
  8. *Find small pearl tapioca in a grocery store's baking aisle or Asian food aisle, or buy it at an Asian market. Get large-flake coconut at a natural-foods store and toast it in a 350 oven until light golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  9. Make ahead: Chill pudding up to 1 day.
