Ingredients
1/3 c small-pearl tapioca2.5 cups light coconut milk (this will require more than one 13-oz can)1 egg yolk1/3 c sugar1/4 tsp salt1/2 tsp vanilla extract~~~1 mango, as ripe as possiblegenerous squeeze of lime juice (about a quarter of a lime is fine)2 tsp sugar (optional--to taste)
Directions
Mix the tapioca and coconut milk and let stand for 30 minutes.

While tapioca is sitting, make mango puree:

Slice and peel mango and chop into chunks (1" or so). Puree in food processor, adding the lime juice. Depending on how ripe the mango is, you may not need to add 2 tsp of sugar--taste and see. Set aside, refrigerating if you prefer the sauce cold.

Thoroughly mix in the egg yolk, 1/3 c sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. When bubbling all over, turn heat down to very low, keep at a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes to thicken. The consistency you want is thick but still very runny, like thick gravy.

Take the pudding off the heat, mix in the vanilla, and pour into six portions. The pudding sets quite quickly; you can chill it or wait about an hour and serve it warm.

Serve with mango puree on top. YUM.
