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!
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
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!
