Small Pearl Tapioca Pudding

Tapioca pudding is a wonderful and easy pudding-style treat that everyone enjoys around here.  I like to use a mixture of canned coconut milk, regular coconut milk and lactose-free whole milk, but I've made it with all sorts of varieties of milks.  It's great warm and chilled. Enjoy!

Set tapioca pearls to soak either overnight to make tapioca in the morning or in the morning to make your tapioca at night by doing the following:

In a 2 cup measuring cup, combine and soak 8-24 hours:
1/2 cup small pearl tapioca 
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cup water - to make 2 cups

In a saucepan mix together:
2 1/2 cups milk (using a combination of canned coconut milk and other milk varieties works great)
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional - it will give it more of a rice pudding flavor if you use it)
soaked tapioca pearls, drained and rinsed thoroughly


Tapioca cooking over medium heat - make sure to mix regularly or you'll end up with tapioca sticking/burning on the bottom of your pan! 

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly.  Once tapioca comes to a boil, let thicken for a minute.  Remove from heat and add:
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Serve warm or put in a bowl with plastic wrap tight to the surface to cool.  Refrigerate once tapioca isn't piping hot.  Tapioca will thicken more as it cools.  Enjoy!
