Tapioca Fruit Pudding
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup pearl tapioca (not instant, large pearl works best)
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 cups grapes, sliced in half
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1⁄2 pint whipping cream
directions
- Soak tapioca overnight in enough water to cover.
- Add or remove water so that there is just enough to cover the tapioca. Cook on low-medium heat on stove until almost all pieces are clear.
- Add sugar; stir until dissolved.
- Remove from heat. Add lemon juice.
- Cool mixture in refrigerator. (This is a good place to store it in the refrigerator, if you are trying get work done ahead. It is fine for at least 2 days; I have never tried longer).
- Stir "gel" so that the individual pieces of tapioca are more separated. Add pineapple and grapes.
- Whip the cream and fold in whipped cream and bananas just before serving.

I'm a grad student (in chemistry, which is really just glorified cooking) who loves cooking anything and everything. I've recently been discovering a love of baking. My husband mostly enjoys my experimenting, except when it involves spiciness!

<br>I typically follow recipes and therefore don't have very many of my own. I'm trying to get more daring, though. Hopefully I'll have many excellent recipes to donate here, eventually.
