Mango Shaved Ice (Mangguo Baobing)
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp medium tapioca pearls
- 1 can (14 oz/400 ml) coconut milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 4 cups (1 litre) shaved or very finely crushed ice (see note)
- 2 mangos, diced
- Sweetened condensed milk, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine the tapioca pearls, coconut milk, sugar and salt. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the tapioca thickens and is transparent, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the tapioca. Let cool, then refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely chilled.
- When ready to serve, stir the tapioca with a rubber spatula until smooth. If needed, add 1 tbsp (15 ml) of water at a time to reach a thinner consistency.
- Fill shallow dishes with the shaved ice and top with the coconut tapioca and diced mango. Drizzle with the condensed milk.
