Homemade Tapioca Pudding \u2013 Of all the types of pudding out there, tapioca might just be the most controversial. Some people love it and some people can\u2019t even stand the sight of it. Maybe it\u2019s because I grew up with the homemade version, but I absolutely fall into the \u201clove it\u201d category. It\u2019s a classic dessert that\u2019s creamy, sweet, and satisfying. The first bite never fails to bring back happy childhood memories.Dessert recipe box<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you don\u2019t see folks making it as often these days, I strongly believe that homemade is the only way to go. The store bought pudding just doesn\u2019t hold a candle to the creamy goodness of homemade. Luckily, it\u2019s quite easy to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup small pearl tapioca<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 cups milk, whole or 2%<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00be cup white sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00be cup white sugar, additional<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon vanilla<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Make Homemade Tapioca Pudding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rinse tapioca pearls and then pour into a small bowl and cover with water. Let soak 45-60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add milk and first \u00be cup of sugar to a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Once small bubbles form, add the tapioca pearls and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently and cook for 15-20 more minutes or until pearls become translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As pearls cook, beat together the eggs and remaining \u00be cup sugar in a medium size bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slowly pour a stream of the hot mixture into the eggs about a \u2153 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Continue until half the hot mixture has been beaten into the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slowly pour the contents of the egg bowl back into the saucepan, continuously stirring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the pudding starts to thicken (it will continue to thicken as it cools as well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer to serving dishes and chill until serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
