Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to show you a recipe that I actually
almost forgot about. It was stuffed away in my hard drive. So the seasonality of this is off a
bit at the moment, but I just had to share this with you guys. So in this video, I'm going to show
you how to make a delicious coconut tapioca pudding paired with some sweet fresh citrus
and a beautiful orange blossom whipped cream that is divine. So let's dive into the recipe
okay so the first thing up is of course cooking the tapioca so in a small sauce pot on low to
medium heat add in the coconut milk sugar and tapioca pearls and you're going to cook it on
a low simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes while the tapioca is cooking it's time for the citrus segments so here i have some ruby red
grapefruit and some valencia oranges that are just going to be carefully peeled straight down
to the citrus fruit itself and you want to make sure your knife follows the pith or white part
from top to bottom to ensure that you're not losing some of that citrus fruit
At about this point, the tapioca pearls were ready to go, so I just transferred them to another
container with a little plastic film over the top so they don't develop a
little skin on the top and you gonna want to cool that down in the fridge for about an hour or so if you can tell if the pearls are done take a few out run them under a little cold water and if there a little tiny tiny speck of white in the middle
of the clear pearl, they are finished. All right, so now that the pudding is in the fridge, you can finish up the citrus segments
by carefully cutting out each segment with a V cutting motion. As you can see, there's a little line of white pith separating each segment
that basically shows you where the fruit is. But after the segments are finished, you're going to put them on a plate or tray
juice the remaining citrus right over the top, and drizzle some agave to start the maceration process
so next up is something i don't normally do in my house and i find it very very fun to utilize
every once in a while when the time seems right. But here I have a whipped canister
that I'm going to add some heavy cream, agave, and orange blossom water to
then charge it with some CO2 to whip up the ingredients inside
And this will be a beautiful garnish and add some nice flair to the coconut tapioca pudding
Okay so basically everything is ready to go and it is plating time first thing down of course is
the chilled coconut tapioca pudding into a bowl you're just going to want to fill it up about
halfway next thing down is the macerated citrus then a few dollops of the orange blossom cream
and finally a nice little garnishing of mint and basil buds. And that's it
Coconut tapioca pudding, beautiful sweet citrus, and a lovely orange blossom cream
All right, guys, so the coconut tapioca pudding is done
This looks really, really good, very interesting, lots of beautiful colors. You have that beautiful white background
with the coconut tapioca pudding, the citrus supremes on top, and some of the green basil buds and mint that I put on top
I'm really excited to dive in. A little history on the dish. I actually used to make this when I
worked for the pastry chef at Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood, when it was Gordon
Ramsay at the London West Hollywood a few years back. Anyways, he made this really beautiful
coconut tapioca pudding and it just stuck with me forever. And it's one of those, you know
dessert bases or even breakfast bases if you want to shift it that way that just looks so cool very clean and the flavor is very refreshing yet it has that beautiful creaminess from the coconut also from the tapioca starch as well so anyways i gonna stop gavin away
and test this out and go from there all right let me dive in
wow so good the coconut tapioca pudding is beautiful wonderful texture really good mouth
feel. Very clean flavors. I love the orange blossom flavor in that cream that was in the
siphon canister. Really kind of just expands on that citrus flavor that's already there
And what I really love about this dish is that it's not too creamy. It's not too tangy. It has
that beautiful balance of sweet citrus with creamy coconut. And you can really play with the flavors
here. Lots of different directions, just like almost any recipe I put up. The tapioca pudding
is a really good base just to play with but this turned out really great the citrus is good the
orange blossom is just a very unique flavor and you guys should definitely experiment with that
go online look up orange blossom water and there will be i'm sure plenty of brands i forget what i
