Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tapioca Pudding with Sweet Corn?
Tapioca Pudding with Sweet Corn is a Thai dessert consisting of tapioca pearls simmered in coconut milk with palm sugar, sweet corn, and pandan leaf. It is typically served warm as a sweet snack or a concluding course to a meal.
How do I know when tapioca is done?
The pearls are done when they are translucent with just a tiny white center left.
Can I use frozen corn?
Yes, frozen sweet corn kernels work perfectly and often provide a better texture than canned corn.
Why is it served with salty coconut cream?
It is only an optional extra drizzle on top when serving; the pudding itself is not salted.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It is best served fresh, as tapioca pearls tend to clump together and lose their texture when refrigerated.
