Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup small pearl tapioca soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 3 cups whole milk or substitute with almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium saucepan, bring milk to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add drained tapioca, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes or until tapioca pearls are transparent.
  • Stir in sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes

To prevent a skin from forming on top, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding as it cools.
