Classic Tapioca Pudding 🥣✨

By: Rabia

Ingredients

  • ½ cup small pearl tapioca

  • 3 cups whole milk (or 2% works too)

  • ½ cup sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soak Tapioca

    • Place tapioca pearls in water and soak for about 30 minutes. Drain.

  2. Cook Base

    • In a medium saucepan, combine tapioca, milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken and pearls become translucent (about 15 minutes).

  3. Add Eggs

    • In a small bowl, beat eggs. Slowly whisk in a bit of the hot tapioca mixture to temper the eggs (so they don’t scramble).

    • Then, return egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir well.

  4. Sweeten

    • Add sugar and continue cooking on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thick and creamy.

  5. Finish

    • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

  6. Serve

    • Spoon into bowls or glasses. Serve warm for cozy comfort or chilled for a refreshing treat.

Tips & Variations 🌟

  • Extra Creamy: Swap half of the milk with heavy cream or coconut milk.

  • Flavored Twist: Add a cinnamon stick or lemon zest while cooking.

  • Topping Ideas: Serve with fresh berries, caramel drizzle, or toasted coconut.
