Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup small pearl tapioca* ((not instant tapioca))
3 1/2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Add milk, cream, sugar and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in tapioca and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until mixture has slightly thickened, and the tapioca pearls have plumped and softened, about 45 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add a spoonful of hot tapioca mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring well as you pour it in. Repeat with another few spoonfuls of hot tapioca, stirring after each. (This helps temper the eggs and bring them to a warm temperature without "scrambling" them.)
  • Add tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with tapioca and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-5 more minutes, just until thickened (keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to keep it from forming a rubbery skin on the surface). Allow it to cool before serving. Serve either warm or chilled.

CHOCOLATE TAPIOCA PUDDING



Chocolate Tapioca Pudding image

Chocoholic? After eating this rich chocolate pudding you'll question the integrity of box puddings! Use dark, semisweet, or milk chocolate, whatever suits your taste buds! You may want to use a bigger saucepan, I think its easier to mix in. A whisk would beat a spoon by far (no pun intended). If this dish isn't rich enough for you, you could try using chocolate milk, but any milk is fine: skim, 1%, 2%, whole, even soy milk. Same thing with the chocolate; use whatever suits your taste buds: dark, semisweet, or milk chocolate.

3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 cup sugar
1 dash salt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries or 1 1/4 cups fresh sliced strawberries

Tips for Making Tapioca Pudding Parfaits:

  • Use high-quality tapioca pearls: Look for pearls that are uniform in size and color, and that have a smooth, glossy surface.
  • Cook the tapioca pearls according to the package directions: Be sure to rinse the pearls thoroughly before cooking, and to use the correct amount of water. Overcooked pearls will be mushy, while undercooked pearls will be hard and chewy.
  • Sweeten the tapioca pudding to your taste: You can use sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice. You can also add flavorings such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or coconut extract.
  • Chill the tapioca pudding before assembling the parfaits: This will help the pudding to set and thicken.
  • Layer the parfaits in a clear glass or jar: This will allow you to see the different layers of the parfait.
  • Garnish the parfaits with fresh fruit, nuts, or whipped cream: This will add color and flavor to the parfaits.

Conclusion:

Tapioca pudding parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover tapioca pudding, and they can also be made ahead of time, making them perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can make tapioca pudding parfaits that are sure to impress your friends and family.
