My family loves old-fashioned tapioca, but I don't always have the time to make it. That's why I developed this simple recipe that let's us enjoy the comforting dessert without the fuss. âRuth Peters, Bel Air, Maryland Ingredients:
8 cups 2% milk |
1 cup pearl tapioca |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a 4- to 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the milk, tapioca, sugar and salt. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs; stir in a small amount of hot tapioca mixture. Return all to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°. Stir in vanilla.
3. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream if desired. Yield: 18 servings.
