Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.75 cups milk
- 0.33 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons Minute Tapioca
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, Minute Tapioca, beaten egg, and salt until well combined.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the tapioca pearls.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
Once the pudding starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving warm, or transfer it to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate to serve chilled.
Enjoy your homemade tapioca pudding topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
