1 can coconut milk 1/2CUP small pearl tapioca (not instant) 2 1/2CUPS milk 1/4TSP salt 1/2CUP granulated sugar 1/2CUP freshly grated coconut 2 large eggs 1TSP coconut extract Our family loves tapioca Pudding. This is a pretty simple recipe and tastes great.
Bring the first 6 ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Boil for about 15-20 minutes.
It will gradually thicken up as the tapioca cooks and the liquids cooks down. Once tapioca is cooked and pudding is thick. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, add in about 1/2CUP pudding to eggs pouring slowly, to get it used to the heat and to prevent the whole thing from turning into a custard. Then mix in your egg mixture with the rest of the tapioca Pudding. Stirring well til nicely combined. Then stir in your coconut extract.
We poured pudding into one cup glasses, makes it pretty to look at, especially if your getting the colored tapioca pearls. Top with some fresh mint and coconut, optional.
