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.

TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Add milk, cream, sugar and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in tapioca and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until mixture has slightly thickened, and the tapioca pearls have plumped and softened, about 45 minutes.
• Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add a spoonful of hot tapioca mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring well as you pour it in. Repeat with another few spoonfuls of hot tapioca, stirring after each. (This helps temper the eggs and bring them to a warm temperature without "scrambling" them.)
• Add tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with tapioca and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-5 more minutes, just until thickened (keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to keep it from forming a rubbery skin on the surface). Allow it to cool before serving. Serve either warm or 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.

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.

OLD-FASHIONED TAPIOCA

Steps:

• In a 4- to 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the milk, tapioca, sugar and salt. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours., In a large bowl, beat the eggs; stir in a small amount of hot tapioca mixture. Return all to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°. Stir in vanilla., Serve with strawberries and whipped cream if desired.

CHOCOLATE MINUTE® TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Beat egg, milk, sugar and tapioca with wire whisk in medium saucepan until well blended; let stand 5 min. Add chocolate.
• Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
• Cool 20 min. (Pudding thickens as it cools.) Stir. Serve warm or chilled. Stir before serving.

CROCKPOT TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls in crockpot (4 quart size or larger). Stir thoroughly, cover and cook on high for approximately 3.5 hours, or until the tapioca is soft but the mixture is still runny.
• Mix the eggs with the vanilla in a separate bowl. In order to avoid having scrambled eggs in your pudding by adding the eggs directly into the hot pudding mixture, "temper" the eggs by gradually whisking a total of 2 cups of the hot milk and tapioca mixture into the bowl containing the eggs. This brings the eggs up to temperate slowly. Once the eggs have been tempered in this fashion, pour them into the slow cooker and whisk the whole mixture thoroughly.
• Cover and cook on high for another 45 minutes, or until the tapioca is pudding-like in consistency. Turn off slow cooker and let it sit for 1 hour to cool. Spoon into dishes and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving. I love serving it while it's still warm during the wintertime. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and/or nutmeg on top, if desired. Enjoy!
