No eggs in this classic creamy tapioca recipe! Add some vanilla bean if you have the sudden urge, or lemon zest, or even chocolate, what the hell. Go pretend you're a grandma, sit in a rocker and indulge in some good ol' tapioca pudding'!
1/2 cup tapioca pearls
2 cups water
3 cups almond or coconut milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract
*optional 1 tablespoon cornstarch to make the pudding thicker
Place tapioca pearls and water in a bowl and let soak for 2 hours then drain excess water. On the stove, heat milk, sugar, salt and tapioca pearls on low heat, constantly stirring for about 15-20 minutes or until balls turn translucent. Add vanilla as mixture thickens. If you desire a thicker pudding, dissolve cornstarch in a bit of water and pour into tapioca, stirring until thickened. Refrigerate till desired temp, or eat it hot; simply devour!
tried it with vanilla almond milk---FANTASTIC!
