Tapioca pudding
Tapioca pudding is a sweet dessert made with tapioca pearls, which are derived from the cassava root. The tapioca pearls are cooked in milk or a milk alternative until they become soft and translucent, creating a creamy and slightly chewy pudding texture. It's often flavored with vanilla, sugar, and sometimes cinnamon or nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
- 4 cups milk (or a milk alternative of your choice)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs separated
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, soak the tapioca in the milk for 30 minutes.
- After soaking, add the sugar, salt, and beaten egg yolks to the saucepan. Mix well.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the tapioca pearls are translucent and the mixture thickens (about 15-20 minutes).
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the tapioca mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm or chilled in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving. Enjoy!
