Old-Fashioned Tapioca Custard Pudding
Old-Fashioned Tapioca Custard Pudding is creamy and gently sweet, with tender pearls suspended in a velvety, egg-enriched base and a fragrant finish of vanilla. It’s the kind of comfort dessert that’s soothing warm on a cozy evening yet just as satisfying chilled after dinner or as an anytime treat.

Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, adding 2 tablespoons at a time, until incorporated. Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca mixture until well combined. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes more, until the pudding is thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
