Steps:
- Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
- Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed. Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.

Steps:
- Add milk, cream, sugar and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in tapioca and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until mixture has slightly thickened, and the tapioca pearls have plumped and softened, about 45 minutes.
- Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add a spoonful of hot tapioca mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring well as you pour it in. Repeat with another few spoonfuls of hot tapioca, stirring after each. (This helps temper the eggs and bring them to a warm temperature without "scrambling" them.)
- Add tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with tapioca and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-5 more minutes, just until thickened (keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to keep it from forming a rubbery skin on the surface). Allow it to cool before serving. Serve either warm or chilled.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tapioca pudding. Look for fresh milk, heavy cream, and pure vanilla extract.
- Cook the tapioca pearls until they are translucent. This will ensure that they are cooked through but still have a slightly chewy texture.
- Let the tapioca pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to thicken up and set.
- Serve the tapioca pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh fruit, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
Tapioca pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a tapioca pudding that is both unique and delicious.
