I heard of tapioca only few years ago when a friend brought me a jar with tapioca pudding. I ate it all at once and promised myself to use these pearls on a regular basis. Tapioca is actually a starch and the pearls become translucent when cooked. It has a silky texture and it is an enchantment to the taste buds.

The pudding is easy to cook and can become a wonderful and quick dessert in any season. If it is summer, it pairs best with strawberries, in autumn serve it with pumpkin puree and in winter go for glazed nuts.

Tapioca pudding ingredients

First of all, boil the water. Add the pearls and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. The pearls will start producing gelatin.

Boiling the tapioca

After the time is gone transfer the tapioca pearls in a sieve and place under cold running water. Use a spoon and mix under water until all the gelatin and starch are gone. You should have only pearls left in the sieve.

Rinsed tapioca pearls

Meanwhile, boil the milk. I used oat milk because my son has some intolerance to cow milk, but you may replace it with coconut or even cow milk. Or any kind of milk.

Add the pearls and vanilla extract and simmer for 15-17 minutes, stirring constantly. I usually prefer orange natural extract, but I didn't have any at hand this time. The flavor is more intense and refreshing with citrus scent.

Cooking the tapioca in milk

This is how tapioca will look like after about 10 minutes.

When it will begin to thicken, add the sugar and stir again. The pudding should have the consistency of a fluid cream. Tapioca pearls absorb a lot of liquid while the pudding is cooling down, so it doesn't have to be too thick.

Remove from stove and set aside to cool a little bit. Pour the pudding into glasses or bowls and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Adding the sugar

I suggest you start the cooking process with the glazed walnuts because they need to stay in the oven and you will be able to prepare the pudding meanwhile.

So, preheat the oven to 320°F.

Beat the egg white with a whisker.

Beating the eggs

Add the sugar, salt and cinnamon and mix well. Add a pinch of nutmeg for a gingerbread taste or simply sprinkle more salt and skip the cinnamon to prepare salty walnuts. They will also pair well with the sweet pudding.

Adding ingredients to beaten eggs

Transfer the walnuts to the bowl and toss well to coat.

Coating the walnuts

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the nuts. Bake for 10 minutes, and then take the tray out of the oven. Flip over the walnuts and bake for 10 minutes more.

Spreading the nuts on the tray

Top the pudding with cinnamon glazed nuts and serve on a cold winter day.

Enjoy!
