Tapioca pearls in coconut milk make a refreshing dessert, here spiked with salt as a foil for sweet mango and papaya.

Ingredients

2 mangoes, peeled and cut into small wedges

½ papaya, peeled and cut into small wedges

Coconut tapioca

100 gm tapioca pearls

400 ml coconut milk

Method

1.For coconut tapioca, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and sprinkle in tapioca. Boil, topping up with extra boiling water from the kettle if necessary, until translucent (25-30 minutes). Drain in a sieve, rinse under cold running water to remove excess starch, drain and transfer to a bowl. Stir in coconut milk and ½ tsp salt and refrigerate to chill (at least 3 hours).

2.Divide tapioca among plates, top with mango, papaya, coconut and lime rind, scatter with coconut sugar and serve with lime wedges.
