  1. Cook the tapioca pearls by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and simmering the pearls for 25-30 minutes until fully translucent.
  2. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse them under cold running water to remove excess starch.
  3. Blend half of the strawberries, coconut milk, regular milk, and strawberry jam in a blender until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture over the cooled tapioca pearls in a bowl and stir to combine.
  5. Gently fold in remaining strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut jellies until well combined.
  6. Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour or serve immediately.
