Modern Peach Tapioca Pudding
A modernized version of a classic peach tapioca pudding, using fresh peaches and a touch of vanilla.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh Peaches (Peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- 0.5 cup Small Pearl Tapioca
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 cups Milk (Whole milk recommended for richness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt (Pinch of salt)
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the tapioca pearls with 1 cup of milk. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes to soften the pearls.
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca mixture, remaining 2 cups of milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- 3Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the tapioca pearls are translucent. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- 4Remove from heat and stir in the sliced peaches and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
- 5Transfer the pudding to a serving dish or individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the pudding to thicken further.
