Coconut tapioca pudding with smoked sesame seeds

This is great for vegans and tastes so exotic and comforting.

Serves 4

2 cups almond milk, divided
1/3 cup tapioca pearls
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup agave syrup
1 tsp good vanilla extract
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
1/4 tsp salt
Smoked sesame seeds for garnish

In a large bowl soak the tapioca overnight (or at least for 5 hours) in 1 cup of the almond milk.
When you’re ready to cook it, add the other cup of almond milk and warm the tapioca /almond milk mixture over medium heat.
Wait until the pudding is boiling then add the coconut milk, vanilla extract and agave syrup.
Cook for another 10 to 12 minutes, stirring continuously.
Finally, add the cornstarch/water mixture and the salt cooking and stirring for 5 minutes.
Cool in a glass or Tupperware bowl for at least 1 hour before serving, or, eat a little warm, it’s lovely.
When serving, sprinkle a few smoked sesame seeds on top.
