Good for a tapioca lover. Chill over night to ensure firmness. Toasted coconut is a must!03/09/07

Surprisingly this was very bland; I tweaked it by adding more vanilla, then some cardamom and finally some nutmeg. The final result was something that appeared very unappetizing and was left untouched at my buffet. 03/28/05
