Children will love this rich yet nutritious dessert made from tapioca pearls! Tapioca is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant—a shrubby tropical plant known for its large, tuberous roots. While raw cassava contains naturally occurring compounds that require proper preparation, tapioca pearls are carefully processed to remove these compounds, making them a safe and wholesome ingredient to enjoy in desserts like this one. Top each serving with fresh blueberries or strawberries for a burst of color and antioxidant-rich sweetness.
