Ingredients

🍚 500g Granulated Tapioca (often labeled as "tapioca para cuscuz")
🍬 2 cups 300g Sugar using a 240ml cup for reference
🥛 1 1/2 liters Milk at ambient temperature
🥥 1 bottle 200ml Coconut Milk typically found in grocery stores
🥥 Fresh Grated Coconut for finishing

Instructions

1- Prepare Ingredients:

• Place 500g of granulated tapioca into a large glass serving dish or tray.
• Add 2 cups 300g of sugar to the tapioca.
• Mix the tapioca and sugar thoroughly with a spoon to ensure an even distribution of sweetness.

2- Combine Liquids:

• Pour 1 1/2 liters of milk over the tapioca and sugar mixture.
• Add 1 bottle 200ml of coconut milk to the mixture.
• Stir all ingredients very well to combine them evenly.

3- Rest and Chill:

• Allow the mixture to rest for around 5 minutes, then stir it again.
• Continue stirring periodically until all the liquid is absorbed by the tapioca, and the mixture appears firm with no liquid visible on the surface.
• Once hydrated, cover the dish with plastic wrap.

4- Finish and Serve:

• Refrigerate the cuscuz until it is completely chilled and set; ideally, let it chill overnight.
• Before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of fresh grated coconut over the entire surface of the cuscuz.
• Cut the cuscuz into desired portions and drizzle with condensed milk just before serving each piece.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: Several hours for absorption and chilling overnight recommended
