Indulge in this refreshing low-fat dessert that’s a breeze to whip up! This tantalizing tapioca jello is a delightful treat, boasting a burst of fruity flavor that will leave your taste buds singing. While orange Jell-O is recommended for its vibrant taste, feel free to experiment with other flavors to suit your preference.

Ingredients:
- 5 cups water
- 1/2 cup pearl tapioca
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 can pineapple chunks (or your favorite fruit)
- 1 package orange Jell-O
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. |
| 2 | Add the pearl tapioca to the boiling water, then remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the tapioca to soak in the water for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight. This soaking process helps soften the tapioca pearls. |
| 3 | The next day, return the saucepan to the stove and bring the tapioca and water mixture to a boil. Boil for approximately 10 minutes, or until the tapioca becomes almost clear. This step ensures the tapioca is fully cooked and translucent. |
| 4 | Once the tapioca is cooked, add the sugar and the package of orange Jell-O to the saucepan. Stir well until the sugar and Jell-O are completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool until it begins to stiffen. |
| 5 | Gently fold in the pineapple chunks (or your preferred fruit) into the tapioca mixture until evenly distributed. The fruity addition adds a delightful burst of flavor and texture to the jello. |
| 6 | For an extra touch of decadence, top the tapioca jello with whipped topping if desired. The light and airy topping complement the creamy texture of the jello perfectly. |
| 7 | Divide the tapioca jello into individual serving dishes, and serve chilled. Each spoonful is a delightful combination of creamy tapioca, fruity goodness, and refreshing jello. Enjoy this guilt-free dessert with friends and family! |
