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.

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.

TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Cook the tapioca: Combine tapioca, milk, and salt in 1 1/2 quart pan on medium-high heat. Stir while bringing to a bare simmer. Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, at the lowest possible heat, adding sugar gradually until the tapioca pearls have plumped up and thickened. Depending on the type or brand of tapioca you are using (and if you've pre-soaked the tapioca as some brands call for), this could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes of cooking at a very low temperature. Stir occasionally so the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Temper the eggs with a little hot tapioca: Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Whisk in some of the hot tapioca very slowly to equalize the temperature of the two (to avoid curdling).
• Add the tempered eggs to the pudding, cool, then add the vanilla: Slowly add the eggs to the tapioca in the pan. Increase the heat to medium and stir for several minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency. Do not let the mixture boil or the tapioca egg custard will curdle. Cool 15 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Serve either 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.

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.

CLASSIC TAPIOCA PUDDING

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.
