Mango Shaved Ice (Mangguo Baobing)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small pot, combine the tapioca pearls, coconut milk, sugar and salt. Let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the tapioca thickens and is transparent, about 20 minutes.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Fill shallow dishes with the shaved ice and top with the coconut tapioca and diced mango. Drizzle with the condensed milk.
