Maple Coconut Tapioca Pudding ~ A Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Dessert

Recipe Description:

This deliciously creamy, rich, decadent treat, free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar can be eaten warm or chilled. I suggest freezing leftovers in individual servings. Tuck them into packed lunches and by the time you’re ready to enjoy your meal, it will be thawed just enough for it to have a frozen custard effect.

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 8 cups

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup tapioca pearls

2 1/4 cups water

6 3/4 cups coconut milk from BPA-free cans

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

6 pastured eggs, separated

1 cup grade B maple syrup

1 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla extract

ground cinnamon as an optional garnish

Recipe Instructions:

In a large sauce pan, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat, add tapioca pearls, stir, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

While tapioca soaks, separate eggs. Beat egg whites with maple syrup and beat yolks in a separate bowl. Start measuring other ingredients while you wait for the tapioca to finish soaking.

Add milk and salt to soaked tapioca and whisk in egg yolks. Whisk constantly over medium heat until it thickens and is brought to a boil. It's important to use a whisk to separate any tapioca clumps. Reduce heat and simmer another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Slowly pour 2 cups hot tapioca into the egg white mixture as you whisk vigorously. Now whisk in egg white mixture with the rest off the tapioca. Whisk 3 more minutes over low heat. Add vanilla. Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of each serving if desired.

This sounds wonderful! What size tapioca pearls to you use? I have some quite large ones, and had read I needed to soak them overnight. Will this 30 minutes in hot water do the trick? I LOVE tapioca pudding. 🙂
