Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I really had to search to find pearl tapioca..The instant tapioca that you buy in the box at the market just does not make the best pudding. I finally found pearl tapioca at my local Vitamin Cottage. The trick to making excellent pearl tapioca pudding is to allow the tapioca to soak in the milk for at least 20 min. before adding the additional ingredients. This pudding desert was a tradition in our family for Christmas Eve. I will look for the recipe and post it. My recipe calls for the egg whites to be beaten until stiff peaks are formed and then folded into the hot pudding mix. This recipe takes some extra time to prepare but is lovely for special occasions. Smiles and hugs to you all Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 -Ooops, Sorry about that remark about instant tapioca not making the best pudding. Not a good choice of words. I'm sure that all of the recipes using the instant are very tasty. I found that the instant tapioca left a somewhat grainy texture and flour taste to the pudding. The pearl tapioca after being washed and soaked has a very different texture and taste.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I just checked. I have minute tapioca & small pearl tapioca. Nevermind the recipe on the quick stuff. On the pearl tapioca, it says to soak overnight in 2c water. Interesting. Looking forward to your recipe! genny_y2k <genny_y2k wrote: I really had to search to find pearl tapioca..The instant tapioca that you buy in the box at the market just does not make the best pudding.
