Pro Tips for Perfect Tapioca Pudding
Soak the Tapioca Properly: The soaking time for tapioca pearls can vary depending on the brand and size of the pearls. While 30 minutes is a general guideline, some may require longer. Make sure the pearls are fully hydrated before cooking to ensure they cook evenly and achieve the desired chewy texture.
Stir Constantly: Tapioca can easily stick to the bottom of the pan and burn if not stirred frequently. Use a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula to stir the mixture constantly, especially as it starts to thicken.

Adjust Sweetness to Taste: The amount of sugar can be adjusted depending on your personal preference. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, start with half the amount of sugar and add more gradually until it reaches your desired sweetness.

Use a Double Boiler: If you’re worried about the pudding scorching or cooking too quickly, you can cook it in a double boiler. This method provides gentler, even heat, which helps prevent the pudding from curdling or burning.

Experiment with Flavors: While vanilla extract is a classic addition, you can also try other flavors like almond extract, coconut milk, or even a splash of rum for a different twist. For a tropical variation, consider adding a bit of coconut milk to the mixture.

Chill for a Firmer Texture: If you prefer a firmer, set pudding, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This will give the pudding a thicker consistency and enhance the flavor.
