Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, continuing to stir, until the tapioca pearls are fully translucent and the mixture has thickened.
- Gradually whisk in the beaten eggs to the saucepan, ensuring to stir quickly to incorporate without curdling the eggs.
- Continue to cook over medium-low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving warm, or chill in the refrigerator if preferred cold.
