Small pearl tapioca combined with coconut milk and fresh pineapple makes a simple tropics-inspired treat. The key to success is using small pearl tapioca, not instant or minute tapioca. Fresh mango or papaya works equally well as a substitute for the fresh pineapple.

This dish gets even richer flavor by calling for cinnamon-raisin bread instead of white, and features cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and chopped pecans as well.
