I love tapioca pudding and I thought I would give it an island flavor with rum and spices. Hope you like it!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup small pearl tapioca
3/4 cup water
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup rum
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, separated
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch allspice
1 pinch ground cloves
Directions:
1. Soak tapioca in the water for 30 minutes in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan.
2. Lightly beat the egg yolks.
3. After the 30 minutes; add milk, rum, salt, and egg yolks to the tapioca.
4. Stir over medium heat until boiling. Turn heat down to low.
5. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes; stirring often.
6. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until soft peaks form.
7. After the 15 minutes, fold about 3/4 cup of hot tapioca into the egg whites and then gently fold egg mixture back into your saucepan. Stir well over low heat for about 3 more minutes.
8. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes then stir in vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
9. Serve warm or chilled.
