CHOCOLATE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak the tapioca in the water overnight.
• Drain the tapioca and discard the liquid. Combine the milk and salt in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring almost to a simmer; tiny bubbles will form around the edges of the pan. Stir in the tapioca and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then turn down the heat as low as possible and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, until tapioca pearls have swollen and are translucent and tender. (If the tapioca is not presoaked, the extra cooking time will come in here.)
• Whisk the eggs and maple syrup together in small bowl, then gradually add 1 cup of the tapioca mixture to the eggs while whisking constantly. Whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the tapioca and continue to cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding is bubbling gently. Cook for about 5 minutes, until somewhat thickened. The pudding will do most of its thickening while it cools, so don't overcook it at this point or the texture will be rubbery texture.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate has melted and is thoroughly mixed into the pudding. Stir in the vanilla.
• Transfer to a heatproof bowl or serving dish and serve warm or chilled. If you're serving it chilled and want to prevent a skin from forming, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface of the pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• storage

• WHO KNEW? The Moo Blues
• If you like milk and dairy products, here's a reason to think about which products you allow in your house. Commercially raised dairy cows are generally little milk factories. That's good for the breeder, but it means the cows also tend to have a lot of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in their milk. One such factor, IGF-1, has been linked to tumor progression. The commercial corn feed these cows are given may also be problematic, as it's high in undesirable omega-6 fatty acids. Experts suggest that if you're going to consume dairy products, seek out organic versions from grass-fed cows for a better nutritional mix.

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.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND TAPIOCA PUDDING (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Use a 4 qt slow cooker. Combine the milk, sugar and tapioca in the insert. Stir well to mix.
• Cover and cook on High for two to three hours. It will still be soupy at this point.
• In a medium or large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and cocoa powder.
• Remove 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca/milk mix from the crockpot, and stir into the eggs, whisking all the time. A standard ladle is 1/2 cup. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot mix, whisk thoroughly, and then another 1/2 cup. This tempers the eggs, so that they don't turn into scrambled eggs.
• Pour the egg mixture into the slow cooker and stir very thoroughly to combine.
• Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes to one hour, or until the tapioca has begun to swell and thicken.
• Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid and let this stand an hour to thicken further. Remove to a large bowl, cover with plastic pushing the plastic against the tapioca (to prevent a skin from forming), and chill.
• Note1: I used seed tapioca, about the size of sesame seeds. I will try this using a couple of tablespoons less, to get a slightly looser consistency, although it was just fine the way it was.
• Note2: I used 2% milk, as that was what I had. I also used only 3/4 cup sugar - the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups, and that would have been much too sweet for me. I might double the amount of cocoa powder next time.

DARK CHOCOLATE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Beat egg lightly in medium saucepan with wire whisk. Add sugar and tapioca; mix well. Gradually add milk, beating well after each addition. Let stand 5 minutes. Add chocolate. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until chocolate is completely melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Stir in vanilla. Cool 20 minutes; stir. (Pudding thickens as it cools.)
• Serve warm or chilled. Store leftover pudding in refrigerator.
