Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 3 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 packet Sugar-free flavored gelatin mix (any flavor)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls and cold water. Let the tapioca soak for 15 minutes to soften.
After soaking, place the saucepan over medium heat, add the low-fat milk, and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 10 minutes, or until the tapioca becomes translucent and the mixture thickens.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir well to combine. Remove it from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar-free flavored gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Gently stir the gelatin mixture into the slightly cooled tapioca mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Pour the combined mixture into serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Chill the tapioca jello in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this light and creamy low-fat dessert!
