Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Small pearl tapioca
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Rinse the tapioca pearls in cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes in a small bowl. Drain and set aside.
In the bowl of your rice cooker, combine the soaked tapioca pearls, whole milk, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Turn the rice cooker to the 'Porridge' or 'Cook' setting and close the lid. Cook for about 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom.
While the tapioca is cooking, beat the eggs in a small bowl. After the tapioca has become translucent and the mixture begins to thicken, temper the eggs by adding about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture to the eggs while stirring constantly.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the rice cooker, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and stir well. Close the lid and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Once done, turn off the rice cooker and allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes. Stir again before serving.
Serve warm for a comforting dessert, or let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours for a cold treat.
