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.

This recipe was a total flop. The tapioca pearls never softened and the pudding was runny.

This recipe was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try adding less lemon next time.

Not a fan. The tapioca pearls were too chewy and the lemon flavor was overpowering.

This tapioca pudding was a delight! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced, and the texture was smooth and creamy. I loved the addition of the tapioca pearls, which added a fun and unique touch.
