Ingredients
- 1 cup Small tapioca pearls
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 oz Dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Egg yolks
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls and whole milk. Let the tapioca soak for 5 minutes to soften.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 15 minutes until the tapioca pearls become translucent and softened.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, ensuring no lumps remain. Stir to combine well.
Step 5
Slowly add a ladleful of the hot tapioca mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, whisking constantly to temper the egg yolks and prevent curdling.
Step 6
Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the tapioca pudding. Continue stirring over low heat.
Step 7
Add in the chopped dark chocolate and salt, stirring continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and the pudding is smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 9
Ladle the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. If you prefer no skin to form, press a piece of plastic wrap gently onto the surface of the pudding as it cools.
Step 10
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and chill. Serve cold and garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
