Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Small pearl tapioca
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, rinse and drain the small pearl tapioca, then combine it with the whole milk. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
After soaking, place the saucepan over medium heat, stir in the granulated sugar, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together. Gradually temper the eggs by adding a few tablespoons of the hot tapioca mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Slowly stir the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, cooking over low heat while stirring constantly until the pudding thickens (about 10 minutes). Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Let the tapioca pudding cool to room temperature, then fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
To prepare the vanilla sauce, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Remove the vanilla sauce from heat and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
To serve, spoon the chilled tapioca into individual bowls, drizzle with the warm vanilla sauce, and top with the remaining fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
