Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup small tapioca pearls
- 2 cups fruit juice of your choice (e.g., orange, apple, mango, or pineapple)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh fruit pieces for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls and 2 cups of fruit juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the tapioca pearls to begin absorbing the liquid.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until the tapioca pearls become translucent and the pudding thickens.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the pudding, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to individual serving bowls or cups.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and enhance the flavor.
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit pieces if desired. Enjoy your easy fruit juice tapioca pudding!
