Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, slowly add the tapioca pearls while stirring gently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat and let them simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the pearls become translucent and tender, stirring occasionally.
- After cooking, remove the pot from heat and carefully drain the tapioca pearls in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse them under cold running water for about 1 minute to remove excess starch, which will help achieve a better texture. Transfer the rinsed pearls to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- In a blender, combine half of the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, regular milk, and the strawberry jam if desired. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, resembling a thick milkshake. Pour the blended mixture over the cooled tapioca pearls in the bowl, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Now, add the remaining chopped strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies to the tapioca mix. Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is well incorporated, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.
- Refrigerate the dessert for about 1 hour before serving. If you're eager for a warm treat, serve immediately; otherwise, enjoy it cold.

Notes
Best enjoyed within 2-3 days when kept in an airtight container in the fridge. Avoid freezing, as it alters the pearls' delightful chewiness.
