Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup pearl tapioca
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup Marsala
4 to 6 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs

1/2 pint heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Beat sugar with eggs and, stirring constantly, spoon one-third of tapioca mixture into egg mixture. Then return all to tapioca mixture, stirring.

  • Spoon into dessert glasses and cool. When ready to serve, decorate with berries and whipped cream.
