molta cioccolata tapioca! *
August 11, 2007 at 5:00 am | In Uncategorized |
this was my first taste of tapioca. I really wanted to love it, but I can’t get past the texture of the tapioca itself. if you do like it, though, I am sure you will love this one’s flavor!
I know I will definitely try this pudding with rice, or simply with arrowroot for thickness.
edited to say I actually like it once it’s cold enough to be enjoyed. I got too impatient to try it the day I actually prepared it.
1/3 cup small pearl tapioca
3/4 purified water
let soak for 30 minutes in a medium saucepan.
2 cups chocolate hemp milk or soy milk or almond milk or rice milk or … you get the idea.
pour on top of tapioca, bring to a boil on medium heat, let simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. you won’t see much because of the chocolate milk, but the tapioca has to be translucent for it to be done cooking.
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped bar
place in saucepan during 5 last minutes of cooking, stir until melted.
2-3 T sugar in the raw [any sort of sugar works, even agave nectar but 2 T should be more than enough]
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
1/4 t ground cinnamon [optional]
add to saucepan, stir well until the sugar is melted and everything is blended. remove from heat.
place in ramequins or martini glasses. let cool, chill in fridge for at least one hour before serving.
serves 4.
* molta cioccolata = a lot of chocolate, in Italian

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of tapioca myself, but that picture looks very tempting at least!

Oh my goodness–thank you so much! I have been looking for a good vegan tapioca pudding recipe for years! I know the texture may seem odd, but my mom used to make it for me when I was little and sick…total comfort food for me! Ahhh…the memories!

Oh wow, this sounds amazing. I’m really trying not to tempt myself with desserts, but not sure I can resist this one!

Could you use sweet rice or your run of the mill rice instead of tapioca?
Err wait, that would defeat the purpose of ‘tapioca pudding’
