Ingredients

For Baked Tapioca Pudding

  • 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tapioca

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls with 2 cups of water. Let soak for 30 minutes, then drain.

Step 2: Cook the Tapioca

  1. Add the soaked tapioca pearls to a saucepan with the whole milk and heavy cream.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and the tapioca pearls are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Custard

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot tapioca mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  3. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the tapioca, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 4: Bake the Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pour the tapioca mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the top with ground nutmeg, if desired.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  1. Allow the baked tapioca pudding to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. It can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

Cook Notes & Tips

  • Stirring: Stir frequently while cooking the tapioca to prevent the pearls from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Tempering the Eggs: Slowly add the hot tapioca mixture to the eggs to avoid scrambling them. This step helps to create a smooth, creamy pudding.
  • Serving Options: Baked tapioca pudding is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Variations

  • Coconut Tapioca Pudding: Replace 1 cup of whole milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist.
  • Lemon Tapioca Pudding: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the custard mixture for a hint of citrus flavor.
  • Spiced Tapioca Pudding: Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon along with the nutmeg for a warm, spiced version.
