This recipe is from Stephanie of "A Year of Slow Cookin" fame. She used her crockpot everyday in 2008, eventually published a couple of cookbooks. This was a very delicious dessert. I made it in my 3 qt slow cooker. See Notes in recipe for comments. Cooking time does not include chilling.

Time 4h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 quarts 1% low-fat milk
3/4-1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup small pearl tapioca, not instant
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Use a 4 qt slow cooker. Combine the milk, sugar and tapioca in the insert. Stir well to mix.
  • Cover and cook on High for two to three hours. It will still be soupy at this point.
  • In a medium or large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and cocoa powder.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca/milk mix from the crockpot, and stir into the eggs, whisking all the time. A standard ladle is 1/2 cup. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot mix, whisk thoroughly, and then another 1/2 cup. This tempers the eggs, so that they don't turn into scrambled eggs.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the slow cooker and stir very thoroughly to combine.
  • Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes to one hour, or until the tapioca has begun to swell and thicken.
  • Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid and let this stand an hour to thicken further. Remove to a large bowl, cover with plastic pushing the plastic against the tapioca (to prevent a skin from forming), and chill.
  • Note1: I used seed tapioca, about the size of sesame seeds. I will try this using a couple of tablespoons less, to get a slightly looser consistency, although it was just fine the way it was.
  • Note2: I used 2% milk, as that was what I had. I also used only 3/4 cup sugar - the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups, and that would have been much too sweet for me. I might double the amount of cocoa powder next time.

SLOW COOKER VANILLA TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Slow Cooker Vanilla Tapioca Pudding Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Kathy_Hester

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup small tapioca pearls
8 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (plain or vanilla)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar (or your favorite sweetener to taste, it will probably need less than 1 cup of agave nectar for instance)

Steps:

  • In a 4 quart slow cooker add the tapioca, non-dairy milk and vanilla and cook on high for 2 hours. When the pudding's time is up it will appear very soupy. Don't let this worry you, it will set up a bit as it cools and even more once you put it in the fridge. Stir in the sugar and refrigerate for a few hours. I like to make this the night before so all I have to do is dish it out after dinner.

Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker Tapioca Pudding:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh milk and cream for the richest flavor. Opt for high-quality tapioca pearls that are uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the Tapioca Pearls: Soaking the tapioca pearls beforehand helps to reduce the cooking time and prevents them from clumping together.
  • Use the Right Ratio of Ingredients: Follow the recipe's measurements accurately to achieve the desired texture and consistency. Too much tapioca can result in a thick, gooey pudding, while too little can leave it too thin.
  • Stir Occasionally: Give the pudding a gentle stir every hour or so to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker and to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Slow Cooker Liner: To make cleanup easier, use a slow cooker liner. This will prevent the pudding from sticking to the pot and make it easier to remove.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker tapioca pudding is a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and chewy tapioca pearls, it's a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips and recipe variations to create the perfect slow cooker tapioca pudding that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Happy cooking!
