TAPIOCA PUDDING (USING MINUTE TAPIOCA)
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)

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING
I have always loved tapioca pudding and coconut, so this dish is perfect for me! One time, for a 'Southeast Asian Cuisine Night,' I served this as dessert alongside pho, spring rolls, and steamed dumplings. For a Southeast Asian touch, top the pudding with chopped mango or chopped peanuts.

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.

CREAMY TAPIOCA PUDDING
This is in response to a post on the boards. It is our favorite Tapioca Pudding. It is time consuming, so DH doesn't get it very often...and when he does, it doesn't last long at all. In fact, if it's been a really long time, he'll eat it himself in one sitting...thank goodness the Chef has the opportunity to "taste test"! ;-)) Prep time does not include soaking pearls overnight.

Steps:
- Use a 4 qt slow cooker. Combine the milk, sugar and tapioca in the insert. Stir well to mix.
- Cover and cook on High for two to three hours. It will still be soupy at this point.
- In a medium or large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and cocoa powder.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca/milk mix from the crockpot, and stir into the eggs, whisking all the time. A standard ladle is 1/2 cup. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot mix, whisk thoroughly, and then another 1/2 cup. This tempers the eggs, so that they don't turn into scrambled eggs.
- Pour the egg mixture into the slow cooker and stir very thoroughly to combine.
- Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes to one hour, or until the tapioca has begun to swell and thicken.
- Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid and let this stand an hour to thicken further. Remove to a large bowl, cover with plastic pushing the plastic against the tapioca (to prevent a skin from forming), and chill.
- Note1: I used seed tapioca, about the size of sesame seeds. I will try this using a couple of tablespoons less, to get a slightly looser consistency, although it was just fine the way it was.
- Note2: I used 2% milk, as that was what I had. I also used only 3/4 cup sugar - the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups, and that would have been much too sweet for me. I might double the amount of cocoa powder next time.
