DECADENT TAPIOCA PUDDING
A quick and easy microwave dish that tastes like you spent hours whipping it up. This is my stepped up version with more flavor than the bland recipe on the box. Tapioca is my favorite comfort food, but hubby and I have an ongoing disagreement about whether it should be served chilled - I like it slightly warm, hubby likes it chilled. Unfortunately, it sometimes disappears before it's chilled enough for his liking...shh, don't tell him!

TAPIOCA PUDDING - EASY MICROWAVE METHOD
Here is an old-time favorite prepared by an updated method. I searched high and low for a good recipe for smooth tapioca pudding and this is my favourite. I sweeten it with maple syrup but you can use something else. Needs to soak overnight. Note: This pudding will thicken as it cools.

- 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.
