Now that summer is in full swing, I\u2019m constantly recipe-testing refreshing summer treats for these hot summer days (and nights). \u00a0I know, tapioca pudding doesn\u2019t sound too summery, or refreshing, or even appetizing. \u00a0But, trust me, it can be!<\/p>\n

For this dessert, I decided to combine the flavors of one of my favorite summertime desserts, tres leches cake, with coconut and tapioca to create a light, grain and gluten free dessert that\u2019s a cinch to make. \u00a0Subbing coconut milk for the traditional heavy cream in tres leches cake not only lightens up the pudding, it also gives it a nice summery flavor.<\/p>\n

Topped with cream, toasted coconut and cherries, tres leches tapioca pudding might just surprise you this summer\u2026<\/p>\n

Tres Leches Tapioca Pudding<\/h3>\n

{Gluten\/Grain Free}<\/h4>\n

Serves 6-8<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 cups coconut milk<\/li>\n
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup evaporated milk<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup granulated tapioca*<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • For garnish: \u00a0whipped cream, toasted coconut and cherries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In a large pot, over low-medium heat, whisk together the three milks until combined. \u00a0Add in the tapioca, cinnamon and salt, and stir to combine. \u00a0Bring to a simmer.<\/p>\n

    Once simmering, cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. \u00a0Let the tapioca cool slightly in the pot, then divide among 6-8 serving glasses.<\/p>\n

    If serving warm, top with whipped cream, toasted coconut and\/or cherries, and enjoy!<\/p>\n

    If serving cold, refrigerate the pudding in the serving glasses for at least 3 hours, then garnish, and serve.<\/p>\n

    *I used the granulated kind for quicker cooking. \u00a0You can always use regular tapioca, and pulse it in the food processor a few times to make it smaller.<\/p>\n
