Decadent Tapioca Pudding Food

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.

RICH & CREAMY COCONUT MILK TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Add pearl tapioca to a medium saucepan. Add almond milk. Let soak, off burner, for 30 minutes.
• Add coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, salt, and vanilla if using paste (if using extract, add after cooking).
• Place pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Taste and add additional honey if you desire a sweeter tapioca.
• Pour into heat-proof individual containers. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Serve topped with fresh fruit and an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.

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.

FLUFFY TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine milk, tapioca, sugar and salt in a saucepan; let sit 5 minutes; add egg yolks; bring to boil, stirring constantly; remove from heat (mixture will be thin); stir in vanilla.
• Pour the pudding into a serving bowl; stir 1/3 of the stiffly beaten egg whites into the pudding; gently fold in remaining egg whites, leaving little"pillows" of egg white; chill.

ORANGE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Finely grate enough orange zest to measure 1 teaspoon. Cut remaining peel and white pith from oranges with a sharp knife, then discard. Cut segments free from membranes, letting them drop into a bowl, then squeeze enough juice from membranes to measure 3 tablespoons, adding it to segments. Add liqueur and 2 tablespoons sugar and toss with segments. Let macerate 20 minutes.
• While orange segments macerate, cook tapioca, milk, grated zest, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Drain orange segments in a sieve over saucepan to add liquid to tapioca (reserve segments), then gently simmer, stirring constantly, until tapioca pearls are completely translucent, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Whisk together egg yolks in a metal bowl, then gradually whisk hot pudding into yolks. Quick-chill by setting bowl in an ice bath and stirring occasionally until cool (pudding will be very thick).
• Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining tablespoon sugar and beat whites until they just hold stiff peaks.
• Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold whites, then cream, into pudding gently but thoroughly.
• Divide orange segments among 6 glasses, ramekins, or small bowls and top with pudding. Chill, covered, at least 1 hour.
