I don't like tapioca pudding made with cooked egg so I came up with this recipe. Evaporated milk gives a richer, creamier taste and texture. I like my tapioca thick but if you don't, feel free to add water a tablespoon at a time toward the end of cooking, since the pudding will thicken more upon cooling. You can also add more or less sugar and spices, according to your taste. Ingredients:
1/4 cup minute tapioca |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
2 cups evaporated milk |
1/2 cup water |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 large apple, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch dice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Mix tapioca, brown sugar, milk, water, salt, spices and diced apple in a two-quart saucepan and let sit for five minutes.
2. Cook over medium low heat, bringing it to a boil and simmer 8-10 minutes till thickened and apples are al dente.
3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
4. Eat warm or chill. Pudding thickens as it cools.
