Prep Time:10 mins

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Small tapioca pearls (uncooked)
  • 4 cups Whole milk
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Almond extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 0.25 cup Chopped almonds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to combine and remove any lumps.

Step 2

In the slow cooker, whisk the whole milk and cocoa powder mixture together until well incorporated.

Step 3

Stir in the tapioca pearls until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 5

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.

Step 6

After 2 hours of cooking, slowly mix a few tablespoons of the hot pudding mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, whisking constantly. Gradually pour the tempered egg yolks into the slow cooker, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Add the dark chocolate chips and almond extract to the slow cooker. Stir until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated.

Step 8

Continue cooking the pudding on low for another 1 to 2 hours, or until the tapioca pearls are translucent and the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Once finished, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding cool for 10 to 15 minutes. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.

Step 10

Serve warm or chilled. Optionally, top each serving with chopped almonds for added crunch and garnish.
