  2. Carefully drain the tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. In a blender, add half of the chopped strawberries, 1 can of coconut milk, 1 cup of regular milk, and 1/4 cup of strawberry jam. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently mix the remaining chopped strawberries, 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup of coconut jellies into the tapioca and creamy base.
  5. You can enjoy immediately or cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
