Ingredients
- 1/3 cup small tapioca pearls
- 2 cups fruit juice of your choice (e.g., orange, apple, mango, or pineapple)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh fruit pieces for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls and 2 cups of fruit juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the tapioca pearls to begin absorbing the liquid.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until the tapioca pearls become translucent and the pudding thickens.
Step 4
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the pudding, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to individual serving bowls or cups.
Step 6
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and enhance the flavor.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit pieces if desired. Enjoy your easy fruit juice tapioca pudding!
