Caramel Tapioca Pudding Recipe 385

CLASSIC TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
• Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed. Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.

HOMEMADE TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH CARAMEL

Steps:

• Place the tapioca pearls into a colander and rinse them in cold water. Place the pearls into a large mixing bowl.
• For the best results, soak tapioca pearls overnight in a bowl of water. Be sure to cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
• Drain the pearls.
• Use a double broiler, or two different-sized saucepans like I did in the photo above.
• Add milk, caramel, vanilla, and salt to double broiler and heat them on low heat until the mixture is warm.
• Add tapioca pearls and turn the heat up to medium-low until tiny bubbles appear.
• Do not let the mixture to a full boil. Turn the heat back to low once you see the tiny bubbles.
• In a small bowl, add egg yolks and sugar.
• Mix well. Now you need to temper the egg yolks. Separate the eggs, putting the yolks into a small bowl
• Use a large spoon to scoop up a bit of the hot tapioca mixture.
• Add the tapioca mixture very slowly to the egg and sugar mixture while whisking quickly to blend it.
• Add a little more tapioca mixture and repeat twice more. Now you can mix the egg yolk mixture into the pudding.
• Pour egg mixture into tapioca mixture and whisk quickly to blend it all in.
• Cook on low, uncovered for 15 minutes. Be sure to use a wire whisk to stir the mixture frequently.
• Serve warm or cold.

CARAMEL TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the tapioca and milk. Set aside for 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, salt and egg yolks, mix well. Cook on low heat; stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. The tiny pearls of tapioca will become more visible as the cook. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts. Add the vanilla. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour equal amounts into 4 serving cups. Chill for about an hour until cold.

VANILLA TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak tapioca in cold water overnight or for at least 3 hours.
• Heat milk until it is steaming, not boiling.
• Drain excess water from tapioca and add to the hot milk, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a wide flat utensil until it is steaming again--do not boil.
• Immediately reduce heat to very low, lower than the setting for cooking white rice, just hot enough to see a few vapors.
• Stir often the first few minutes then add the sugar and salt; and additional milk if needed.
• Check and stir the bottom of the mixture about every 5 minutes and add milk as needed to maintain a consistency similar to oatmeal cooking.
• Cook for about 45 minutes or until the tapioca pearls are translucent (no white specks in the center) and the mixture is sufficiently thickened.
• (Notes: One may thicken the hot sweetened milk and tapioca in a double boiler although a heavy saucepan is fine if given careful attention--this pudding will scorch easily if you're distracted! Should problems appear, immediately transfer to another pan; avoid and discard anything caramel or brown colored).
• When thickened and the pearls are translucent, stir in vanilla and transfer to a bowl or individual pudding cups.
• Cover and chill--serve with whipped cream and cinnamon or fruit.
• (Note: The pudding will thicken more as it chills).

MEADOWWOOD TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and tapioca pearls in a slow cooker until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the cooker to high setting, cover with lid, and cook for 2 hours. (If preferred, set on low setting and cook for 4 hours. Stir pudding occasionally during cooking.)
• Place egg yolks into a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Mix about 1 tablespoon of the hot pudding into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined; continue gradually mixing hot tapioca pudding into the egg yolks, slowly increasing the amount of pudding mixed in, until the yolks and pudding total about 2 cups. Slowly pour the yolk mixture into the pudding in the slow cooker until blended, whisking constantly until the egg yolks have thickened the pudding, about 5 minutes.
• Place lid back on the cooker, and continue cooking until the pudding is your desired degree of thickness, on high setting for about 30 more minutes (or low setting for 1 more hour).
