Description

Indulge in the creamy richness of Eggnog Tapioca Pudding, a festive and flavorful dessert that combines the classic flavors of eggnog with the delightful texture of tapioca pearls.


Ingredients

Tapioca Pudding:

  • 1/3 cup small pearl tapioca
  • 2 1/2 cups eggnog
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Cook Tapioca: Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare Egg Whites: Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then fold gently into the hot pudding.
  5. 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.
