Sabudana/Taipoca is a humble ingredient with loads of potential. It can adapt to different flavors and is a great platform for creative expression.
I decided to whip up a quick and easy dessert with a basic pantry while focusing on extracting the maximum from simple ingredients.
The result was a mouthful of fresh and citrus explosion 💥🍊!
Give this humble dessert a try and let me know what you think of it! Look forward to you trying my Tapioca Orange Therapy!
