Tapioca Pudding Easy Microwave Method Recipes

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 cup tapioca in 1 cup of milk overnight in the refrigerator.
• Pour 3 cups of milk into a 2 quart microwave-safe glass bowl or measuring cup. Add the soaked tapioca and maple syrup with a whisk. Microwave on high for 6 minutes and stir thoroughly with a whisk.
• Microwave on high again for 2 minutes, whisk and microwave 2 more minutes. Do not let it boil over.
• Add eggs and microwave 2 minutes. Whisk and microwave 2 more minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla and pour into individual serving dishes or a serving bowl. Chill and serve.
• Chocolate Tapioca: along with the vanilla, add 6 oz. (1/2 cup) semisweet chocolate chips and whisk until they are melted and blended.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, tapioca, milk, egg and salt in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. (Use a bowl where your ingredients only come up half way so there's room to boil without boiling over.).
• Cook at full power, stirring every 2-3 minutes until mixture comes to a full boil. Should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla and cool. Pudding thickens as it cools.
• If desired, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding as it cools.
• NOTE: you can make this on the stovetop if you prefer.

Steps:

• Put milk, tapioca and sugar in 2 quart microwavable bowl.
• Microwave on high for 12 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Meanwhile, put the egg yolk in a small bowl and stir until smooth. When the milk mixture is finished, slowly drizzle 1 cup or more of the hot milk into the yolk while beating the yolk. Then pour the egg mixture back into the milk bowl and stir till combined.
• Microwave the milk and egg mixture on high for 2 minutes. Then stir in the vanilla and butter.
• This makes 6 servings of 1/2 cup each.

Steps:

• Mix milk, sugar, tapioca and egg in medium saucepan. Let stand 5 min.
• Cook on medium heat until mixture comes to full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool 20 min.; stir. Serve warm or chilled. (Pudding thickens as it cools. For creamier pudding, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding while cooling. Stir before serving.) Store leftovers in refrigerator.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine milk, tapioca, sugar and salt in a saucepan; let sit 5 minutes; add egg yolks; bring to boil, stirring constantly; remove from heat (mixture will be thin); stir in vanilla.
• Pour the pudding into a serving bowl; stir 1/3 of the stiffly beaten egg whites into the pudding; gently fold in remaining egg whites, leaving little"pillows" of egg white; chill.
