Best Tapioca Cream Cheese Pudding Recipes

TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine milk, heavy cream, tapioca, sugar, egg, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk well then allow to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
• Place on stovetop over medium heat and, whisking constantly, bring mixture to a boil (this will take several minutes).
• Continue to boil while whisking for an additional minute then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (and raisins if using).
• Pour into a (heatproof) serving dish and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap is touching the entire surface of the tapioca pudding (this will prevent a skin from forming while the pudding cools).
• Allow to cool for 20 minutes before uncovering and serving. Tapioca pudding is excellent served either warm or chilled, so store uneaten tapioca in the refrigerator in an airtight container and serve leftovers cold.

CLASSIC TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
• Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed. Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.

MEADOWWOOD TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and tapioca pearls in a slow cooker until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the cooker to high setting, cover with lid, and cook for 2 hours. (If preferred, set on low setting and cook for 4 hours. Stir pudding occasionally during cooking.)
• Place egg yolks into a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Mix about 1 tablespoon of the hot pudding into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined; continue gradually mixing hot tapioca pudding into the egg yolks, slowly increasing the amount of pudding mixed in, until the yolks and pudding total about 2 cups. Slowly pour the yolk mixture into the pudding in the slow cooker until blended, whisking constantly until the egg yolks have thickened the pudding, about 5 minutes.
• Place lid back on the cooker, and continue cooking until the pudding is your desired degree of thickness, on high setting for about 30 more minutes (or low setting for 1 more hour).

OLD FASHIONED TAPIOCA PUDDING

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.
