Ingredients
- 1 cup Small pearl tapioca
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the small pearl tapioca under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch that could make the pudding too thick.
Step 2
In a slow cooker, combine the rinsed tapioca, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally (about every hour) to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
After 3 hours, lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Slowly add about half a cup of the hot tapioca mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Step 5
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the crockpot. Stir well to combine everything, and cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the pudding to thicken.
Step 6
Once done, turn off the crockpot and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated. These add richness and flavor to the pudding.
Step 7
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then ladle it into individual serving bowls or a large container. Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator until cold and set.
Step 8
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
