Tapioca Pudding Easy Microwave Method Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the water and tapioca pearls in a 1 1/2 quart pot. Let stand for 30 minutes until the pearls are plump and have absorbed the water.
• Turn on the heat to medium-high. Pour in the milk and salt; stir while bringing to a bare simmer.
• Reduce the heat to very low, add in the sugar and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently (so the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan), until the tapioca pearls have plumped and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca (this equalizes the temperature between the two mixtures to avoid curdling.)
• Pour the egg mixture into the pot with the rest of the tapioca; increase heat to medium and stir for several minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency that coats the back of a wooden spoon. (Do not let mixture boil.)
• Take off the heat and cool for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Serve either warm or cold and enjoy!

TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix milk, sugar, tapioca and egg in medium saucepan. Let stand 5 min.
• Cook on medium heat until mixture comes to full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool 20 min.; stir. Serve warm or chilled. (Pudding thickens as it cools. For creamier pudding, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding while cooling. Stir before serving.) Store leftovers in refrigerator.

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.

DECADENT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix sugar, tapioca, milk, egg and salt in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. (Use a bowl where your ingredients only come up half way so there's room to boil without boiling over.).
• Cook at full power, stirring every 2-3 minutes until mixture comes to a full boil. Should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla and cool. Pudding thickens as it cools.
• If desired, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding as it cools.
• NOTE: you can make this on the stovetop if you prefer.

TAPIOCA PUDDING - EASY MICROWAVE METHOD

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 cup tapioca in 1 cup of milk overnight in the refrigerator.
• Pour 3 cups of milk into a 2 quart microwave-safe glass bowl or measuring cup. Add the soaked tapioca and maple syrup with a whisk. Microwave on high for 6 minutes and stir thoroughly with a whisk.
• Microwave on high again for 2 minutes, whisk and microwave 2 more minutes. Do not let it boil over.
• Add eggs and microwave 2 minutes. Whisk and microwave 2 more minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla and pour into individual serving dishes or a serving bowl. Chill and serve.
• Chocolate Tapioca: along with the vanilla, add 6 oz. (1/2 cup) semisweet chocolate chips and whisk until they are melted and blended.
