LEMONY TAPIOCA PUDDING



Lemony Tapioca Pudding image

I was watching one of my favorite Food TV shows, "Good Eats", one night. Alton Brown was making tapioca pudding. Well, I knew that my wife LOVES tapioca pudding so I decided to whip up a batch. She thought it was GREAT. There were a couple of things that I wanted to change about it. First, while the fat content was about right, the sugar was low. Also there was no vanilla. I fixed that part of it, yet one problem remained. The problem is not in the recipe but the scarcity of one ingredient. That ingredient was pearl tapioca. We have some great grocery stores here, but finding pearl tapioca was difficult. I then took it upon myself to come up with the new version of my recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the pudding. If you don't have fresh lemon zest, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried lemon zest.
  • Don't overcook the tapioca pearls: Tapioca pearls should be cooked until they are translucent and soft, but still have a slight bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the pudding to set and thicken properly.
  • Garnish the pudding with fresh fruit: Fresh fruit, such as berries, citrus segments, or bananas, adds a pop of color and flavor to the pudding.

Conclusion:

Lemony tapioca pudding is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it tart, sweet, or somewhere in between, this pudding is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a simple but elegant dessert, give lemony tapioca pudding a try.
