Banana Coconut Tapioca Pudding (Chè chuối)

(Banana Coconut Tapioca Pudding)

Chè chuối is a simple Vietnamese dessert consisting of tapioca pearls and sliced bananas or plantains, preferably small, ripe, and sweet varieties usually found in Southeast Asia. Tapioca and bananas are combined with coconut cream or coconut milk, and the dish is often sweetened and occasionally flavored with pandan leaves.


The coconut cream provides creaminess, while tapioca pearls give the dessert its typical pudding-like consistency. Chè chuối is usually served in bowls, and it's sometimes garnished with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds.
