Roasted Peach Tapioca Pudding
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- Peaches
- 6 fresh Peaches, cut in half and pitted
- splash of Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
- Tapioca Pudding
- 1/2 cup Tapioca Pearls
- 2 cups Light Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- pinch of fine Sea Salt
- pinch of ground Cinnamon (adjust to taste)
- Vegan Whipped Cream Topping
METHOD:
Roasted Peaches
- Pre heat oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle. Toss peach halves with some lemon juice and coconut oil. Place in a baking dish in a single layer, bake about 25-30 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Tapioca Pudding
- Soak small tapioca pearls in 1 cup of cool water for 1 hour. In a saucepan bring tapioca, coconut milk, salt and cinnamon to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes. Stir so your pudding does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Let pudding cool in the refrigerator until ready to use. It will thicken as it cools.
- Serve warm or cold with roasted peaches and vegan whipped cream.
NOTES:
- Feel free to use large or small tapioca pearls for this recipe. I chose the small, but both are fabulous!
