• You can it it warm (as I hear it is often served in the colder months) We like ours after it has chilled several hours in the fridge at any time of year.

Steps:

• Place tapioca in a medium mixing bowl along with the water, cover, and let stand overnight.
• Drain water from tapioca. Place the tapioca into a slow cooker along with the milk, heavy cream, and salt. Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar. Temper small amounts of the tapioca into the egg mixture until you have added at least 1 cup. Then add this back into the remaining tapioca in the slow cooker. Add the lemon zest and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring at least once. Transfer the pudding to a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Allow to cool at room temperature for 1 hour and then place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.

Steps:

• Milk the milk, tapioca, egg, and sugar together in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved; allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• I recommend soaking the tapioca pearls in 2 cups of water the night before as it reduces some of the excess starch and means less cooking time.
• In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls, the milk, and salt. Stir frequently on medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer 5 minutes. Add the sugar in gradually, stirring constantly.
• In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs. A little at a time, add some of the tapioca mixture to the eggs and continue stirring. This is "tempering" the eggs and will bring them up to temperature gently, preventing the eggs from scrambling.
• Add the tempered egg mixture to the tapioca. Gently bring the mixture back up to near-boiling. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached. Pearls should be translucent and gelatinous.
• Allow tapioca to cool 15 minutes before adding the vanilla. Serve warm or chill until serving time.

Steps:

• Soak the tapioca in warm water to cover for 1 hour. Drain; set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a 12-inch oval baking dish; place in a roasting pan. Mix tapioca, milk, sugar, and salt in heavy non-aluminum saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat while whisking. Lower heat; let mixture simmer 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat; quickly whisk in yolks, vanilla, spices. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in another bowl until just stiff. Whisk half a cupful into the tapioca, then fold in the remaining egg whites. Pour tapioca mixture into baking dish. Place dish in roasting pan on middle shelf of oven; pour several inches of boiling water around the outside of the oval dish. Bake about 35 minutes until top is puffed and golden. The inside will be soft. Remove, cool slightly, serve warm or at room temperature.;

Steps:

• Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
• Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed. Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.
