Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small pearl tapioca
- 3 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk of choice)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Granular sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia, Monk Fruit, or Erythritol)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the small pearl tapioca, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Stir well to ensure the tapioca is evenly distributed in the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to slightly hydrate the tapioca pearls.
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the salt and cook, stirring frequently to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
While the tapioca is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar substitute until smooth and well combined.
Once the tapioca pearls have turned translucent and the mixture has thickened slightly, remove 1/4 cup of the hot tapioca mixture. Slowly add it to the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the egg and prevent it from curdling.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining tapioca pudding. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it to serving dishes or a storage container. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours if you prefer it cold.
Enjoy your delicious low-fat, sugar-free tapioca pudding as a healthy treat or dessert!
