Instructions

Prepare Tapioca Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine tapioca, eggnog, milk, sugar, and salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the tapioca to begin softening.
Cook Tapioca: Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Temper and Thicken: Beat the egg yolks and slowly incorporate some of the hot tapioca mixture to temper them. Add tempered yolks back into the pan, stirring constantly until thickened.
Prepare Egg Whites: Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then fold gently into the hot pudding.
Finish and Chill: Stir in vanilla, spoon into serving dishes, and chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with nutmeg before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use premium or spiced eggnog.
The pudding can be served warm or chilled and keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
