Tapioca Fruit Pudding
"This recipe is a family favorite. It always gets eaten really quickly, and it doesn't seem to matter if the recipe is doubled or even tripled. It takes some planning ahead and effort, but it is well worth it. Preparation time does not include soaking or cooling in refrigerator."
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup pearl tapioca (not instant, large pearl works best)
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 cups grapes, sliced in half
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1⁄2 pint whipping cream
directions
- Soak tapioca overnight in enough water to cover.
- Add or remove water so that there is just enough to cover the tapioca. Cook on low-medium heat on stove until almost all pieces are clear.
- Add sugar; stir until dissolved.
- Remove from heat. Add lemon juice.
- Cool mixture in refrigerator. (This is a good place to store it in the refrigerator, if you are trying get work done ahead. It is fine for at least 2 days; I have never tried longer).
- Stir "gel" so that the individual pieces of tapioca are more separated. Add pineapple and grapes.
- Whip the cream and fold in whipped cream and bananas just before serving.

I'm a grad student (in chemistry, which is really just glorified cooking) who loves cooking anything and everything. I've recently been discovering a love of baking. My husband mostly enjoys my experimenting, except when it involves spiciness!

<br>I typically follow recipes and therefore don't have very many of my own. I'm trying to get more daring, though. Hopefully I'll have many excellent recipes to donate here, eventually.
