Banana Tapioca Pudding (Jake Khtis)

Banana Tapioca Pudding (Jake Khtis)

This is Khmer banana dessert and it is easy to make, some banana will turn black if you don’t boil it first, I use the regular banana from the grocery store. It is best to use white small tapioca but I only have the green tapioca. It is importance to soak tapioca for 30 minutes or it won’t cook all the way. The pudding will be thickened when it is cold, make sure you put enough water as in the recipe.

5 firm bananas peel cut in half or in third then sliced length wide.
1 can of coconut cream
1 can of water from the coconut can
1/4 cup of tapioca soaked in water for 30 minutes wash drain set aside
1/4 t of salt
2/3 to 3/4 cup of sugar (adjust the sweet according to your taste)
2 t of roasted sesame seeds for garnish when serve

In a medium pot bring coconut cream, water, salt and sugar to a boil
Then add tapioca, bananas to the coconut sauce cook until the banana is soft and tapioca is done
About 5 minutes, taste and adjust the sweet.
Turn the heat off let cool
This kind of dessert is best to serve warm, but some like it cold
Sprinkle sesame seeds before serve

Enjoy!
