Rich Chocolate Tapioca Pudding

Submitted by SusanRW

"This old-fashioned tapioca pudding recipe came from my great-great-grandmother. I come from a long line of chocoholics, and I truly didn't know that tapioca pudding normally wasn't chocolate until I got married!!"

Although this tasted wonderful, I didn't take a picture because it didn't look very nice. Gently folding the egg whites back in made it "lumpy looking" and I was afraid to cream it because I didn't want to loose the lift. It did taste wonderful though! Made for Chef's Alphabet Soup Game

I whipped this up after dinner one night when my boys were craving something chocolate. DS (3 y/o)now asks regularly for "chocolate taffy-oka". Great twist on an old favorite!
