Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup small pearl tapioca* ((not instant tapioca))
3 1/2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING



Coconut Tapioca Pudding image

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.

Tapioca is made from the root of the cassava plant; it's used as a thickening agent in puddings, soups, and fruit-pie fillings. Look for it in the pudding section at your supermarket.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING



Coconut Tapioca Pudding image

I feel sorry for people who tell me that their mother's cooking was terrible: I can't imagine eighteen years of eating bad food. Fortunately, my esteemed lineage included a mom who was a fantastic cook. Unfortunately, though, she was lacking the baking gene, so cookies and cakes were few and far between. She did, however, make wonderful tapioca pudding, which she served warm in a bright-red '60s-style glass bowl. She always added an entire capful of aromatic vanilla extract to the pudding, stirred in at the last minute. Being hopelessly nostalgic (especially when it comes to desserts), I can still smell it to this day. Of course, back then there wasn't much fusion cooking going on, but nowadays Thai coconut milk is readily available, and I use it in my version of tapioca pudding. In addition to vanilla extract, I include a vanilla bean for good measure. I don't have any children, but if I did, I would hope this pudding would be just as memorable for them as my mom's is for me.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 (875 ml) cups Thai coconut milk
1 3/4 cups (430 ml) whole or low-fat milk
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 cup (160 g) small pearl tapioca
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dried unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut or shards of fresh coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, milk, sugar, tapioca, and salt. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the saucepan, then drop in the pod. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula to make sure the mixture isn't scorching on the bottom, until the pudding thickens and the tapioca pearls are completely cooked through and translucent, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Briskly stir the egg yolks into the pudding, incorporating them quickly. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod (it can be rinsed, dried, and used for another purpose; see page 14).
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment (or in a bowl by hand), whisk the egg whites on medium speed until they form soft peaks. Fold the whipped egg whites into the pudding, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • The pudding can be served warm or cold. Spoon it into individual serving dishes and top with toasted coconut.
  • A simple compote of fresh tropical fruit, such as cubes of banana, mangoes, papayas, and pineapple, tossed in brown sugar, is a perfect accompaniment to the pudding.
  • Tapioca pudding will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Small pearl tapioca can be found in Asian markets along with Thai coconut milk, which is also available in well-stocked supermarkets.
