Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Small pearl tapioca
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cups Coconut milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, soak the small pearl tapioca in 1 cup of water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca, whole milk, and coconut milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble gently. This should take about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the tapioca pearls become translucent and tender, about 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, and salt until smooth and pale in color.
Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent scrambling.
Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with the tapioca. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the tapioca pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Let it cool for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours until chilled.
Before serving, top with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
