Instructions

Add the tapioca and the vanilla bean and simmer over low heat, stirring often, until the tapioca is tender but still slightly chewy, about 1 hour.
Pour the tapioca pudding through a coarse sieve set over a large bowl. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean; discard the bean. Stir in 1/3 cup of the milk in which the tapioca was cooked, then add the coconut milk. Cover and refrigerate until the pudding is cold and thickened, about 3 hours.
In a medium glass or ceramic bowl, gently stir together the diced papaya, pineapple, cantaloupe and mango.
To serve, spoon the pudding into 4 small bowls and top with the diced fruit. Alternatively, layer the tapioca pudding and the diced fruit in parfait glasses.
Serve the pudding at once or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
