  • Course: Dessert
  • Cuisine: American
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together the tapioca, milk, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in the sugar. Cook uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until tapioca pearls are plumped and mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Temper by slowly whisking in 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture into the eggs.
  4. Whisk the tempered eggs into the saucepan with the tapioca pudding. Increase heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened to a custard-like pudding texture. Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, or chill thoroughly for a thicker set pudding.
