Old Fashioned Tapioca Pudding
- Reviews 8
Ready In: 13 hrs
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup pearl tapioca
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
- 1 fresh vanilla bean
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 egg yolks
Directions
- Soak the pearls in water overnight, covered well with water. Drain the water off.
- Heat the milk, cream, vanilla bean (split and scraped), and tapioca to a slow simmer in a heavy pot and cook for 1 hour, stirring often.
- Add the sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer being careful not to let the tapioca stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Put the yolks into a bowl and stir in some of the tapioca mixture to temper the eggs.
- Then add yolks to the pan while stirring. Pour into a bowl and cool.
- You can it it warm (as I hear it is often served in the colder months) We like ours after it has chilled several hours in the fridge at any time of year.
