Old Fashioned Tapioca Pudding image

I bought of tub of Tapioca pudding at Trader Joes and found out that my husband really really loves tapioca pudding. (really, I hardly got any) Since I don't have a TJ's near me, I went searching for a really good tapioca recipe, one that didn't use quick cooking tapioca. This one is delicious! We serve ours cold topped with a little fresh whipped cream. I found the tapioca pearls in the bulk section of my health foods store. Note that the tapioca pearls must soak overnight before you can prepare the pudding.

Time 13h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup pearl tapioca
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 fresh vanilla bean
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Soak the pearls in water overnight, covered well with water. Drain the water off.
  • Heat the milk, cream, vanilla bean (split and scraped), and tapioca to a slow simmer in a heavy pot and cook for 1 hour, stirring often.
  • Add the sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer being careful not to let the tapioca stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Put the yolks into a bowl and stir in some of the tapioca mixture to temper the eggs.
  • Then add yolks to the pan while stirring. Pour into a bowl and cool.
  • You can it it warm (as I hear it is often served in the colder months) We like ours after it has chilled several hours in the fridge at any time of year.
