Tapioca Pudding

This weeks recipe is the most amazing tapioca pudding. It is rich, creamy and absolutely delicious.

You start out by placing 1/2 c. small pearl tapioca in 2 c. water. You can find small pearl tapioca in the pudding isle, next to the instant tapioca.

Note: You can use large or small pearl tapioca with the remainder of the recipe staying the same.

Let it sit overnight and this is what it will look like.

Beat together 2 eggs in a small bowl. Set aside.

Combine tapioca, milk and salt in a pot. Stir until boiling. Gradually add sugar and simmer 5 minutes.

Now it's time to temper the eggs. Gradually add about 2 cups of the boiling mixture into the eggs while whisking.  This process helps prevent the eggs from cooking instantly and making your pudding stringy. 

Now gradually pour that mixture back into the pot while whisking.  

Now bring it back to a boil and simmer until thick. Cool 15 minutes then add vanilla.  

Enjoy it warm...

or chilled.

I cannot tell you how good this is. If you like tapioca pudding you HAVE to try it.  You won't be sorry.
