TAPIOCA PUDDING (USING MINUTE TAPIOCA)



Tapioca Pudding (using Minute Tapioca) image

This is comfort food at its finest. I love it hot, I love it warm, but I absolutely adore it ice-cold from the refrigerator. Personally, I think it belongs in it's own food group. But perhaps I'm biased. :D Hmmm, I think I might need to go make some tapioca pudding after posting this recipe... DH loves it when I make this, and I like that I don't have to fuss with soaking the tapioca overnight. I never remember to do that... (P.S. Decisions, decisions...they want to know how many servings? I suppose I should say something other than one, huh? LOL)

Categories     Puddings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 c granulated sugar
3 Tbsp minute tapioca
2 3/4 c milk
1 egg, well beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sugar,tapioca, milk and egg in medium sauce pan and let stand 5 minutes
  • 2. Cook on Medium heat, stiring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil (pudding thickens as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • 3. Cool 20 minutes. Serve warm or chilled. Store leftover puddng in refrigerator.
  • 4. NOTE: This is the original recipe from the side of the box of Minute Tapioca. I make all of my puddings in the microwave. You never have to worry about scalding, sticking or burning if preparing in the microwave. However, you do need to keep an eye on it through the window of the microwave so it doesn't boil over.
  • 5. HINT: If you cover pudding with plastic wrap or a cover of some sort while cooling, pudding will not get the thick gooey layer on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tapioca pearls: Fresh tapioca pearls will yield better textured pudding and cook more evenly than dried pearls.
  • Soak tapioca pearls before cooking: This will help them cook more evenly and prevent clumping. If you're using dried tapioca pearls, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook tapioca pearls in plenty of water: The pearls will absorb a lot of water as they cook, so make sure to use at least 4 cups of water for 1 cup of pearls. This will help prevent the pearls from sticking together and becoming gummy.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the pearls: This will help prevent the pearls from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the pearls for 15-20 minutes: Stir the pearls occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Test the pearls for doneness: The pearls are done when they are translucent and have a chewy texture. If the pearls are still hard, continue to cook them for a few more minutes.
  • Drain the pearls and rinse them with cold water: This will stop the cooking process and help the pearls retain their shape.
  • Add the pearls to your favorite pudding recipe: Tapioca pearls can be added to any type of pudding, but they're especially good in chocolate, vanilla, and fruit puddings.

Conclusion:

Tapioca pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and subtle flavor, tapioca pudding is a perfect way to end a meal or satisfy a sweet craving. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give tapioca pudding a try!
