Creamy Vanilla Tapioca Pudding

Submitted by sszz907

"This pudding is lighter and less sweet than most, but it has a wonderful creamy vanilla flavor. If it is left to set in the fridge it will solidify and have a thick texture, but my favorite way to eat it is warm straight from the pot. The preparation time does not include soaking the pearls and pre-soaked pearls are available if you wish to avoid this step."

DH and I enjoyed this pudding very much. Next, though, I think I might add another tablespoon, or so, of tapioca. Thanks for posting!
