Purple Yam and Taro Tapioca Dessert

You know that dessert you get at Chinese restaurants at the end of the meal that is is like a dessert soup? Its always a nice surprise for me when they bring out the coconut milk one rather than the red or green bean ones.

Needless to say I was inspired by that dessert and had to recreate it. This dessert is super easy to make!

I forgot to take more pictures so the only one I have is of it cooking in the pot. 

Ingredients:

3 cans coconut milk

3 tablespoon condensed milk (depending on how sweet you want it) 

2 cups of cubed purple yam

1 cup of cubed taro

1/4 cup of tapioca balls (small white ones)

1 tablespoon of chopped candied ginger (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla 

Pinch of salt

Directions:

Warm up coconut milk in pot and stir in condensed milk. Make sure you stir thoroughly and then taste the mixture before adding any additional spoonfuls of condensed milk. If you do happen to add too much, just add water to dilute it down. 

Once you have desired sweetness, Put the yam, taro, tapioca and ginger in and cook till the yam, taro and tapioca gets soft. This might take about 20-25 mins. 

Not a very appetizing photo but trust me, its delicious!

Serve either warm or cold. 

Put some warm water in when cooking if you find the soup too thick from the tapioca.
