My husband and his parents love tapioca. Every time they visit I make a batch. Large pearl tapioca can be hard to find in a grocery store (it's one of those time consuming things to cook) but I find them in Asian grocery stores.

Tips:

  • Soak the tapioca pearls overnight: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too chewy.
  • Use a large pot: Tapioca pearls expand as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent them from boiling over.
  • Cook the tapioca pearls in plenty of water: The pearls should be covered with at least 2 inches of water.
  • Stir the pearls occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the pearls until they are translucent: This should take about 30 minutes.
  • Drain the pearls and rinse them with cold water: This will help to remove any excess starch.
  • Add the pearls to the desired pudding mixture: You can use any type of pudding mix or recipe, but tapioca pudding is a classic choice.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: This will help it to set and become more firm.

Conclusion:

Large pearl tapioca pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its unique texture and mild flavor, it's a surefire hit with people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
