This pudding is lighter and less sweet than most, but it has a wonderful creamy vanilla flavor. If it is left to set in the fridge it will solidify and have a thick texture, but my favorite way to eat it is warm straight from the pot. The preparation time does not include soaking the pearls and pre-soaked pearls are available if you wish to avoid this step. Ingredients:
1/4 cup tapioca |
4 cups skim milk |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Mix the tapioca pearls with the milk in a large pot and let them soak for at least an hour.
2. Add the salt and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Simmer on low heat for five minutes while adding the sugar gradually.
4. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and mix in about half of the hot mixture. Pour the egg back into the pot and mix well.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil again and then cut it down to low heat.
6. Mix in the vanilla extract.
7. Simmer for another ten minutes, stirring constantly.
