Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute
Total Time 1 minute
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pearl tapioca (do not use instant tapioca)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups whole milk (or dairy free milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring
  • Halloween Candies (Gummy bones, skulls, spiders, slugs)

Instructions
 

  • The night before, in a medium bowl soak Pearl Tapicoa in water at room temperature.
  • The next day, combine tapioca, milk, and salt in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir while bringing to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook covered at the lowest possible heat for 45 minutes-1 hour. Timing depends on the type or brand of tapioca you are using. Stir occasionally so that the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once cooked, in a separate bowl beat the egg yolks and sugar together. Mix in some of the hot tapioca very slowly to equalize the temperature of the two mixtures (to avoid curdling).
  • Pour the egg mix into the pan with tapioca. Still over low heat, stir for roughly 10-15 minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency. Do not let the mixture boil or the tapioca egg custard will curdle.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and green food dye.
  • Pour into your cauldron or black bowl and cover with gummies and Halloween themed decorations. Serve either warm or chilled. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
