Excellent with frozen mangoes and coconut instead of the suggested fruits.

Made this for 4 of us, so instead of adding any fruit to the tapioca, I served the fruit on the side, each in its own bowl, so those at the table could have what they wanted! Me, I added a bit of each one & loved it, but then I'm a huge fan of tapioca! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend]

This is so yummy. I used 2% fat milk. And I used pineapple in it. I love it. I used Splenda for the sugar. Thanks California Jan :) Made for Count Dracula and His Hot Bites for ZWT7
