Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Shake can of coconut milk well. Pour coconut milk into a 1-quart measure. Add whole milk to make 3 cups. Pour milk into a saucepan and add tapioca, sugar and egg. Stir gently just to combine, then let set 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Over medium heat, bring tapioca mixture slowly to a full boil, stirring constantly with a rubber or wooden spatula. At the boil, remove from heat. Fold in fruit of choice. Pour into ramekins, dessert bowls, or lidded containers. Cool 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir tapioca well in each container, then chill. Tapioca will thicken as it cools.
