LARGE PEARL TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Soak tapioca in bowl of water overnight. Bring milk to a boil in a double boiler over simmering water. Add salt and tapioca to milk. Stirring constantly, cook tapioca in double boiler for 1 hour or until tapioca is clear and milk is thickened. Beat egg whites with 1/2 cup sugar until firm peaks, set aside. Beat yolks with remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Temper yolks with some of the hot custard. Stir tempered yolks into hot custard, cook over double boiler an additional 15 minutes. Optional: Add chocolate. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until chocolate is completely melted, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and gently fold in egg whites. Pour tapioca into a serving bowl, cover and chill.

TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Place tapioca in a medium mixing bowl along with the water, cover, and let stand overnight.
• Drain water from tapioca. Place the tapioca into a slow cooker along with the milk, heavy cream, and salt. Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar. Temper small amounts of the tapioca into the egg mixture until you have added at least 1 cup. Then add this back into the remaining tapioca in the slow cooker. Add the lemon zest and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring at least once. Transfer the pudding to a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Allow to cool at room temperature for 1 hour and then place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.

CROCKPOT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls in crockpot (4 quart size or larger). Stir thoroughly, cover and cook on high for approximately 3.5 hours, or until the tapioca is soft but the mixture is still runny.
• Mix the eggs with the vanilla in a separate bowl. In order to avoid having scrambled eggs in your pudding by adding the eggs directly into the hot pudding mixture, "temper" the eggs by gradually whisking a total of 2 cups of the hot milk and tapioca mixture into the bowl containing the eggs. This brings the eggs up to temperate slowly. Once the eggs have been tempered in this fashion, pour them into the slow cooker and whisk the whole mixture thoroughly.
• Cover and cook on high for another 45 minutes, or until the tapioca is pudding-like in consistency. Turn off slow cooker and let it sit for 1 hour to cool. Spoon into dishes and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving. I love serving it while it's still warm during the wintertime. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and/or nutmeg on top, if desired. Enjoy!
