Tapioca, though considered by many to be rather plebian, actually has a long and storied past. Believed to have been derived from the ancient Mayans, it has also been enjoyed by the Chinese, possibly as early at the 14th century. This tapioca custard is the epitome of what a dessert should be. Light, sweet, delectably textured, it serves as a base for this enchanting concoction, and the perfect complement to the mango mousse and vanilla cream with which it is combined. A veritable smorgasbord of textures and flavors, this treat, presented here with chocolate spears and a fresh raspberry on top, is nothing short of a dream come true.
