• 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.

SUPER SIMPLE MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Pour milk in a large deep microwave safe bowl. (I use a 6 cup glass measuring cup).
• Add the chocolate pudding powder and whisk to combine.
• Stir in the tapioca and allow to sit for 5 minutes to soften.
• Microwave on high 8 minutes stirring every two minutes.
• Top with fruit and whipped cream if desired.

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
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

• 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.

Cook, whisking as needed to prevent lumps from forming, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chocolate chips and salt. Continue stirring until chips are completely melted and pudding is smooth and thickened, about 7 minutes more.
• Pour pudding into 1 large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming; smooth it gently against the surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.
