If you want to make your own tapioca pudding at home then just follow the step by step intractable below or watch the video tutorial here:

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients

1/3 cup Small Pearl Tapioca
¾ cup Water
2 ¼ cups Milk
¼ tsp Sea Salt
½ cup Sugar divided
2 Eggs separated
½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Tools

Step 2: Soak the Pearls

Soak the tapioca pearls in water for 1 hour in a 1 ½ quart saucepan. Do not drain remaining water, if any. (Do not try to use milk for this step just stick to water, it will not make them creamier). After an hour the pearls will have absorbed most of the water.

Step 3: Separate Eggs

After the pearls soak, separate your egg yolk and your egg whites into two separate bowls. Lightly beaten the egg yolks and leave the egg whites aside for now.

Step 4: Back to the Pearls

In the sauce pan, add milk, salt, ¼ cup sugar and the lightly beaten egg yolks to the soaked tapioca pearls. Whisk everything together gently until combined.

Step 5: Heat

Stir over medium heat until boiling. Simmer uncovered over very low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir often. Make sure to stir consistently so it won't burn.
