Old Fashioned Tapioca Pudding


We serve our tapioca pudding cold topped with a little fresh whipped cream. I found the tapioca pearls in the bulk section of my health foods store. Note that the tapioca pearls must soak overnight before you can prepare the pudding.


Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Total Time:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pearl tapioca
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 fresh vanilla bean
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs yolks

Directions:

Soak the pearls in water overnight, covered well with water. Drain the water off.

Heat the milk, cream, vanilla bean (split and scraped), and tapioca to a slow simmer in a heavy pot and cook for 1 hour, stirring often.

Add the sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer being careful not to let the tapioca stick to the bottom of the pan.

Put the yolks into a bowl and stir in some of the tapioca mixture to temper the eggs.

Then add yolks to the pan while stirring. Pour into a bowl and cool.

You can it it warm (as I hear it is often served in the colder months) We like ours after it has chilled several hours in the fridge at any time of year.
