Step by Step Method

Step 1

Whisk together the milk, sugar, egg & salt in a lrg (3 qt) saucepan over med heat. When mixture begins to steam (at around 160F), add the tapioca & reduce heat to med-low.

Step 2

Bring the pudding to a low simmer for 30 min (around 190F) or until it thickens & reduces to around 3 cups. Don't let it come to a boil.

Step 3

Turn off the heat & let the pudding sit for 10 min, then whisk in the cornstarch.

Step 4

Turn the heat to low again & cook the pudding for 10 min, stirring often until it's thicker, then remove it from the heat & stir in the vanilla.

Step 5

Allow the pudding to sit uncovered for 10 min to cool, then transfer it to a covered container & chill for a couple hrs before eating. The pudding will thicken more as it becomes completely chilled.

Step 6

YIELD: 4 servings, 3/4 cup each

I made this when friends were coming for a visit. It was delicious served with dollops of whip cream. Just as good as the store brand and much cheaper if you make it yourself. Go for it!

First time making Tapioca and it won't be my last! I chilled it and we had it covered with whipped cream. Yummo! I had no problems with this recipe. Thick, creamy and totally delicious!

I've made this recipe twice. The first time I misread the ingredients and used a whole egg. It turned out like jello. Today I decided to try again and followed the instructions and ingredients to the letter. It still turned out like jello, not at all like the creamy Kozy Shack pudding. I will not be trying it a third time. Twice is expensive enough.

This is a great old fashioned desert and what a nice Friday night treat this was to have after dinner. It's like going back in the 50's (not that I would know because it's before my time). It really came out creamy and the method given is spot on. Thank you Twissis for sharing. Made it for FYC.
