Prep Time 3 minutes minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes minutes
- 2 bananas, very ripe
- 100 mL coconut milk
- 2 tbsp tapioca pearls I used small ones
Mash the bananas with a fork.
Place bananas in a pot and cover with water. Don't use too much water; it is easier to add more than to remove.
Bring to a boil and let simmer 10-20 minutes.
Add tapioca pearls and coconut cream (without discarding the water).
Continue to simmer until the tapioca pearls are completely translucent, around 20 min.
Serve hot or cold.
