Grass jelly dessert is a harmonious combination of coconut, vibrant fruits, chewy pearl tapioca, mochi, and any ice cream of your choice. Asian patisseries typically serve pre-made dessert combinations, but some places allow you to create your own bowl using your favorite ingredients. This recipe uses a coconut milk mixture similar to the one served in Chinatown, with a balanced flavor that pairs well with any fruit, but you can add more or less sugar as desired.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

1 can (400 g) of unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
1/3 cup condensed milk with sugar
5 ice cubes
1 jar (537 g) of herbal jelly cubes, such as Thuan Phat
1 large ripe mango (or 2 champagne mangoes), peeled and diced
8 strawberries, hulled and diced
1 cup of boiled, cooled tapioca pearls
2 cups ice cream (vanilla, matcha, or ube), optional

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, condensed milk, ice cubes, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
Evenly divide the herbal jelly (it's okay if some liquid spills onto the plate), mango, strawberries, and tapioca into 4 shallow bowls. Pour about 2/3 cup of the cooled coconut mixture into each bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream, if using, and serve immediately.

There are many varieties of pearl tapioca—black, white, rainbow, small, and coarse—as well as quick-cooking and slow-cooking varieties. Choose the tapioca you like, but be sure to read the package instructions to prepare it correctly, as some types require soaking, while others simply need to be boiled for 5 minutes.
