Instructions

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer while stirring the tapioca pearls every 10 minutes for approximately 60 minutes. If the water level drops too low, feel free to add more water to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the pan.

Once the tapioca pearls are fully cooked and translucent, strain them in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
4
After rinsing, soak the tapioca pearls in water to keep them hydrated until you're ready to assemble the dessert.
5
When it's time to enjoy your falooda, take the cooled tapioca pearls and add rose water to enhance its flavor; approximately 1 tablespoon for every 6 cups of pearls is recommended, but adjust to your taste preference.
6
To assemble the falooda, take a serving glass and start by adding a tablespoon or two of strawberry jam at the bottom.
7
Layer the tapioca pearls on top of the jam, followed by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For an extra treat, add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped fresh strawberries on top. You can also create beautiful layers with each component for a stunning presentation.
