How to make it

  • TO MAKE THE TAPIOCA:
  • Combine the tapioca, sugar, salt, yolks, milk and half-and-half in the top of a double boiler. I put a bowl on top of a pan with boiling water (about 2-inches of boiling water). Cook for 15 to 20 minutes over boiling water until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Remove the pan from the heat and put the tapioca in a bowl to let it cool.
  • Stir the lime zest, juice and tequila into the cooled tapioca. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour (or overnight if that works better with your schedule) so that the flavors have time to get acquainted.
  • TO SERVE:
  • Remove the tapioca from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
  • Mix the sugar, cocoa and salt on a saucer or flat-bottomed bowl. Moisten the edge of a margarita glass with a cut lime. Dip the edge of the glass into the cocoa mixture.
  • Spoon 3/4 c. of the tapioca into the margarita glass and top with fruit and a scoop of chocolate lime tequila sorbet. Decorate with a slice of cut lime on the rim of the glass.
  • NOTE: If you'd prefer to do without the alcohol, heat the tequila on top of the stove in a small saute pan until very warm. Once warm, pull the pan towards you and tilt it towards the flame of your burner. It should ignite. Or light with a long stick match. BE CAREFUL. DO NOT STAND OVER THE PAN or you'll be serving breakfast minus your eyebrows.
