tapioca pudding with coconut milk
I tried tapioca pudding in the USA for the first time this year. It came with the most delicious Thai takeout I have had in a while. So if your happen to be around Guilford, CT, try out SomSiam! Actually, we got desserts by surprise and for free, since the my bfs charming brother has made an impression on the lady who owns the place in the past. So there they were: little tapioca puddings with sweet corn, black beans and coconut milk. Odd at first, they made an impression on me after the second bite. And once back in Germany weeks later I had to run to the store to get tapioca pearls. Which I did. I came across 101cookbooks and thought I may try a variation of her tapioca pudding. A lighter version, including the coconut touch I liked so much. So I reduced the number of egg yolks (I will try an egg-free version soon), used skimmed milk and muscovado sugar for a caramel touch. And finally, a tablespoon of coconut milk adds that little twist (at least I think so).
You will need to be careful with the cooking time, as it will vary depending on the tyoe of tapioca you use. Thus, please only use the numbers here as rough guidelines, yours may need seriously longer or shorter.

This is dead easy, but so yummy. The story goes that people sing about this mousse. And the story also says that once upon a time, a 16 year old boy from the U.S. was spending some time in Geneva with Madame Piletta. And she used to do this mousse, allowed for the recipe to be taken to the States. And now (many years later) it ended up in Germany, via the lovely mother of this then 16 year old.
