Rich Chocolate Tapioca Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Beat egg, milk, sugar and tapioca with wire whisk in medium saucepan until well blended; let stand 5 min. Add chocolate.
• Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
• Cool 20 min. (Pudding thickens as it cools.) Stir. Serve warm or chilled. Stir before serving.

Steps:

• Mix milk, salt, and tapioca in 3 quart saucepan. Cook and stir until begins to thicken.
• Separate egg yolks from whites. Set whites aside.
• Mix egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa in separate saucepan. Heat and mix until creamy. Add cocoa mixture to tapioca mixture and heat until boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Add vanilla.
• Remove from heat. Beat egg whites until stiff then fold whites into tapioca mixture. Pudding may be eaten warm or refrigerated. My family prefers to eat it cold.

Steps:

• Soak the tapioca in the water overnight.
• Drain the tapioca and discard the liquid. Combine the milk and salt in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring almost to a simmer; tiny bubbles will form around the edges of the pan. Stir in the tapioca and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then turn down the heat as low as possible and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, until tapioca pearls have swollen and are translucent and tender. (If the tapioca is not presoaked, the extra cooking time will come in here.)
• Whisk the eggs and maple syrup together in small bowl, then gradually add 1 cup of the tapioca mixture to the eggs while whisking constantly. Whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the tapioca and continue to cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding is bubbling gently. Cook for about 5 minutes, until somewhat thickened. The pudding will do most of its thickening while it cools, so don't overcook it at this point or the texture will be rubbery texture.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate has melted and is thoroughly mixed into the pudding. Stir in the vanilla.
• Transfer to a heatproof bowl or serving dish and serve warm or chilled. If you're serving it chilled and want to prevent a skin from forming, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface of the pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• storage
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

• WHO KNEW? The Moo Blues
• If you like milk and dairy products, here's a reason to think about which products you allow in your house. Commercially raised dairy cows are generally little milk factories. That's good for the breeder, but it means the cows also tend to have a lot of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in their milk. One such factor, IGF-1, has been linked to tumor progression. The commercial corn feed these cows are given may also be problematic, as it's high in undesirable omega-6 fatty acids. Experts suggest that if you're going to consume dairy products, seek out organic versions from grass-fed cows for a better nutritional mix.
