Golden Orange Tapioca Pudding

 

Recipe By :Dana Jacobi, Something Different, AICR, November 2, 1998

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/3 cup sugar

3 tablespoons instant tapioca

1 egg

2 cups orange-pineapple juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

1. Line up 6 small dessert dishes or individual custard cups.

 

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and tapioca, and set aside.

 

3. In a bowl, beat the egg. Whisk in the juice. Stir the egg mixture into the

tapioca; let sit for 5 minutes.

 

4. Set the pot over medium heat and bring to a full boil while whisking the

tapioca constantly, about 7 minutes. The pudding will thicken somewhat as the

tapioca pearls swell and turn clear. Stir in the vanilla.

 

5. Pour the hot pudding onto the dessert dishes. Cover each with plastic wrap,

smoothing it onto the surface of the tapioca to prevent a skin from forming as

the pudding cools. Let sit at room temperature until set, about 1 hour. Chill

before serving.

 

Note: If the tapioca does not set, mix it with some plain, cooked rice for a

pudding-like dish you can enjoy. Over time, tapioca loses its ability to

thicken. When this happens it indicates that what you are using is more than a

few months old.

TIP - Tapioca is made from the starch of cassava, a tuber that grows in the

tropics. To make it, the starch is extracted from the tuber, then dried and

heated until it forms little pearls. There are two kinds of tapioca, the

quick-cooking little dots sold at the supermarket in that iconic red box, and

larger pearls which are sold in Asian food stores. This is the kind becoming

popular in exotic Asian cold soft drinks.

NOTES : As I often avoid eating dairy, I have experimented with making tapioca

pudding without milk. Here is proof that it works beautifully. Even the glowing

color of this delicious version is fortifying. For fun, I have also made tapioca

using low-fat chocolate milk, and wow! You won't find more comfort in food,

short of a pint of premium ice cream.
