Easy Fruit Juice Tapioca Pudding
"This is my version of the fruit juice pudding recipe on the Minute Tapioca box. I omitted the sugar from the original recipe which I think is rather unnecessary. Topping the pudding with corn flakes adds a great crunch. Also add chopped nuts and dried fruit if you like. Note: Prep. time includes time taken for cooling."

The flavor is more like a gelatin dessert than tapioca pudding with milk and egg. The cereal topping is a great idea -- the mellow sweetness of the corn cereal was a lovely compliment to the tangy pudding. I didn't have cornflakes, so I crumbled some Crispix cereal on instead. I used an orange-pineapple-strawberry 100% juice blend. It was already a bit tart, but when cooked down, it was more intense, so I can see that with some juices added sugar might be good. The contrast of the corn topping evened it out well, too, though. -
Thanks for a great recipe! Really enjoyed it - such an unusual texture. I added cinnamon to it, which worked out well. Next time I might try adding a bit of lemon juice instead of cinnamon to see if I can get a mock lemon pudding taste out of it.
