This tapioca pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had a chance to meld together and the pudding was even creamier. I will definitely be making this again for my next party.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tapioca pearls. I had some leftover from a bubble tea kit and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I found this recipe and it was the perfect solution. The pudding turned out great and my family loved it.
