Creamy Tapioca Pudding Recipe
A staple food in many regions of the world, tapioca is used as a thickening agent in many foods. In addition to pudding, this starch is used in many recipes. It can be added to soups. It can be dried and eaten as a snack. It can be added as an ingredient to many cake and pie recipes. It is a staple food for people living in impoverished countries.
Tapioca pearls, flakes or pellets are often boiled with milk and other ingredients to make a pudding. While a 4-ounce serving of prepared pudding offers a few grams of protein and approximately 10 times the amount of Calcium , Phosphorus and Potassium as plain tapioca , it is also higher in fat and packs 16.4 grams of sugar. So, check out Tapioca Pudding Recipe with Condensed Milk.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 bottle of coconut milk
- 1 cup of granulated tapioca (not the ready-made one, ok? this is the one that needs to be hydrated)
- 1 cup of refined sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 can of condensed milk
Preparation mode:
- In a bowl, mix the milk with the coconut milk and the granulated tapioca .
- Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, caramelize the sugar in a large skillet over low heat.
- When caramelized, pour the sugar into a 23 cm diameter pudding mold.
- In a blender, beat the condensed milk with the eggs.
- Then, add the tapioca mixture and beat a little more, just to mix the cream.
- Pour this mixture into the caramelized form, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a bain-marie (the pudding form must be inside a shallow form filled with warm water – enough to cover two fingers of the pudding form) in the oven preheated to 180 ˚C for approximately 1 hour.
- Your pudding is ready when you insert a knife and it comes out clean, or when you shake the pan slightly, it becomes firm.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before storing it in the fridge.
- When unmoulding, heat the bottom of the mold on the stove top and unmold the tapioca pudding onto the serving plate.
- Heat the mold again to melt the sugar that was there and pour the syrup over it.
- Enjoy!
