Homemade Tapioca Pudding


Certainly! Homemade tapioca pudding is a classic, creamy dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make from scratch. It’s a delightful treat that combines simple ingredients like milk, tapioca pearls, sugar, and eggs into a comforting and delicious pudding. Here’s a straightforward recipe to help you make your own homemade tapioca pudding.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca (not instant)
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Soak the Tapioca Pearls:
    • Place the tapioca pearls in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, then drain and set aside. This step is crucial for softening the pearls before cooking.
  2. Simmer the Milk:
    • In a heavy saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca, milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
