Equipment
- Measuring Cup
- double boiler
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of Reese Tapioca providing chewy and translucent pearls that add a delightful texture to the dish.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar adding a touch of sweetness that complements the tapioca pearls and creates a luscious and satisfying dessert.
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt enhancing the overall flavor profile by balancing the sweetness and bringing out the natural taste of the ingredients.
- 1 large egg contributing to the richness and creaminess of the pudding, creating a smooth and silky texture.
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk or whole milk forming the creamy and velvety base that enriches the tapioca and adds a smooth and comforting element to the dessert.
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla infusing the pudding with a warm and aromatic essence that adds depth and a delightful fragrance to the dessert.
Instructions
- Soak the tapioca overnight in a bowl with two cups of water at room temperature, and then drain the liquid.
- Using a double boiler, you need to heat the milk until it is lukewarm.
- Add salt and tapioca to the mixture, then increase the heat until small bubbles are visible along the edges of the pan. Put the lid on and reduce the heat to low and let the milk mixture cook for an additional hour, taking care to never let it reach a simmer or a boil.
- Now, take the eggs and carefully separate out the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until they reach a light yellow hue. Once blended, slowly add some of the heated mixtures to the mixture of egg yolks.
- Then, you should stir the egg yolks into the mixture for around 15 minutes until it has become quite thick. Beat the egg whites firmly before adding them to the hot tapioca mixture.
- Gently incorporate the whisked vanilla as you stir slowly. Enjoy either warm or chilled!
Notes
- Make sure to use Reese tapioca for this recipe. Regular tapioca pearls are too large and will not cook properly in the pudding.
- Keep stirring the pudding continuously while it is cooking. This will help prevent lumps and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the pudding. Once it starts to thicken, check for doneness every few minutes until you reach your desired consistency.
- If you want a creamier texture, add an extra cup of milk or some heavy cream.
