Homemade Tapioca Pudding Food

HOMEMADE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl soak tapioca in water overnight (about 8 hours). Drain water.
• In a double boiler heat milk until no longer cold. Stir in salt and tapioca. Continue heating until small bubbles appear at the sides of the pan. Cover, turn heat to low and cook for 1 hour. Make sure the milk does not simmer or boil.
• In a medium mixing bowl wisk together sugar and egg yolks until light in color. While whisking add a little bit of the hot milk mixture. Then add the egg yolk mixture to the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly. Place the double boiler over medium heat and cook until tapioca mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes.
• Gently fold in beaten egg whites into the hot tapioca mixture. Stir in vanilla. Serve warm or chilled.

OLD FASHIONED TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak the pearls in water overnight, covered well with water. Drain the water off.
• Heat the milk, cream, vanilla bean (split and scraped), and tapioca to a slow simmer in a heavy pot and cook for 1 hour, stirring often.
• Add the sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer being careful not to let the tapioca stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Put the yolks into a bowl and stir in some of the tapioca mixture to temper the eggs.
• Then add yolks to the pan while stirring. Pour into a bowl and cool.
• You can it it warm (as I hear it is often served in the colder months) We like ours after it has chilled several hours in the fridge at any time of year.

COCONUT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, lightly beat egg. Add coconut milk, milk, sugar, and tapioca; whisk to combine. Set aside, at least 5 minutes, until tapioca is slightly softened.
• Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil over medium heat; stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let cool until no longer hot, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, 2 to 3 hours (or up to 3 days).
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing once or twice, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes; let cool.
• Just before serving, whisk pudding to loosen. Divide among four serving glasses or dishes; top with pineapple and toasted coconut.

CREAMY TAPIOCA PUDDING

• Separate egg whites from yolks.
• Beat egg yolks and sugar toether until light yellow in color.
• Add a little of the hot mixture to the egg yolks and blend thoroughly.
• Then add the egg yolk mixture to the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly.
• Place the double boiler over medium heat and cook until tapioca mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes.
• Beat egg whites until stiff.
• Slowly fold the hot tapioca mixture into the egg whites.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Serve warm or chilled.

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.

SIMPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• I recommend soaking the tapioca pearls in 2 cups of water the night before as it reduces some of the excess starch and means less cooking time.
• In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls, the milk, and salt. Stir frequently on medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer 5 minutes. Add the sugar in gradually, stirring constantly.
• In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs. A little at a time, add some of the tapioca mixture to the eggs and continue stirring. This is "tempering" the eggs and will bring them up to temperature gently, preventing the eggs from scrambling.
• Add the tempered egg mixture to the tapioca. Gently bring the mixture back up to near-boiling. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached. Pearls should be translucent and gelatinous.
• Allow tapioca to cool 15 minutes before adding the vanilla. Serve warm or chill until serving time.

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).

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.

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!

• In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until just stiff. Whisk 1/2 a cupful into the tapioca, then fold the remaining in. Pour the tapioca mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Place the baking dish and brownie pan in the middle shelf of the oven and pour several inches of boiling water around the outside. Bake about 35 minutes, until the top is puffed and golden. The inside will still be a little soft. Remove, cool slightly, and serve warm or at room temperature.

TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook the tapioca in the milk and salt on medium heat until simmering. Then lower the heat to a minimum and start adding sugar gradually and intermittently until the tapioca pearls have increased in size.
• Break the eggs into a heatproof bowl. Temper the eggs by taking some of the hot tapioca mixture and adding it to the eggs while whisking constantly. Drizzle the tempered eggs into the tapioca mixture while on low heat until thickened. It should not boil.
• Let your tapioca pudding cool until room temperature. Add vanilla and stir. You may choose to heat it up to serve warm, or refrigerate in individual serving dishes and serve cold.
