Ingredients
- 2 Mango
- 1 Pomelo
- 0.5 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 4 cups Water
Steps
- Simmer the tapioca pearls 15 minutes until translucent with tiny white centers, then rest covered 10 minutes. Rinse in cold water — they should be chewy, not mushy.
- Blend one mango with the coconut milk, evaporated milk, and sugar into a smooth, sunny puree. Chill.
- Supreme the pomelo into juicy segments, and dice the second mango. Keep the textures distinct: silky puree, popping citrus, chewy pearls.
- Stir the pearls into the chilled mango soup. Divide among bowls and top with pomelo and mango.
- Serve cold. The classic Hong Kong dessert soup: tropical, creamy, and gone in minutes on a hot day.
