Check out the boba ice cream recipe below:
Ingredients:
2 cups of your favorite ice cream, either store-bought or homemade
½ cup of tapioca pearls
4 cups of water
Brown sugar syrup or honey (to taste)
To prepare the boba ice cream, first start by cooking the tapioca pearls. Add water to a pot and turn it on medium heat. Add your tapioca pearls to the water and keep stirring them to prevent sticking.
Once the pearls start floating to the surface, cook them for another 15 minutes or until they reach your desired level of chewiness. Afterward, remove them from the heat, and let them sit for another 5 to 10 minutes. Drain them, rinse them under cold water, and combine with sugar syrup or honey in a separate container.
Lastly, to make boba ice cream, all that’s left is to mix your cooled boba with your preferred flavor of ice cream and serve!
