TAPIOCA FRUIT PUDDING

This recipe is a family favorite. It always gets eaten really quickly, and it doesn't seem to matter if the recipe is doubled or even tripled. It takes some planning ahead and effort, but it is well worth it. Preparation time does not include soaking or cooling in refrigerator.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup pearl tapioca (not instant, large pearl works best)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)
2 cups grapes, sliced in half
2 bananas, sliced
1/2 pint whipping cream

Steps:

  • Soak tapioca overnight in enough water to cover.
  • Add or remove water so that there is just enough to cover the tapioca. Cook on low-medium heat on stove until almost all pieces are clear.
  • Add sugar; stir until dissolved.
  • Remove from heat. Add lemon juice.
  • Cool mixture in refrigerator. (This is a good place to store it in the refrigerator, if you are trying get work done ahead. It is fine for at least 2 days; I have never tried longer).
  • Stir "gel" so that the individual pieces of tapioca are more separated. Add pineapple and grapes.
  • Whip the cream and fold in whipped cream and bananas just before serving.

EASY FRUIT JUICE TAPIOCA PUDDING



Easy Fruit Juice Tapioca Pudding image

This is my version of the fruit juice pudding recipe on the Minute Tapioca box. I omitted the sugar from the original recipe which I think is rather unnecessary. Topping the pudding with corn flakes adds a great crunch. Also add chopped nuts and dried fruit if you like. Note: Prep. time includes time taken for cooling.

Tips for Making the Best Tapioca Pudding

  • Use high-quality tapioca pearls. Look for pearls that are uniform in size and color, and that are free of any blemishes or defects.
  • Rinse the tapioca pearls before cooking. This will help to remove any starch or debris from the pearls.
  • Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package directions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of tapioca pearls you are using.
  • Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the pearls from becoming too sticky.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the tapioca pudding. This will help to prevent the pudding from scorching.
  • Bring the milk, sugar, and salt to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the pudding has thickened.
  • Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the tapioca pearls. Pour the pudding into a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion

Tapioca pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, tapioca pudding is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a party or a special treat to enjoy on a weeknight, tapioca pudding is a great option.
