Raspberry Tapioca Pudding
A smooth and creamy pudding that isn't overly sweet thanks to the tang of fresh raspberry. Dress it up however you like and feel free to tweak the sweetness by adding more (or less) maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup small tapioca pearls
- 1 cup plant milk
- 1 cup frozen raspberries thawed
- 1 Tbsp water
- 400 ml full fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Garnish (optional)
- fresh raspberries
- pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Soak the tapioca pearls in the plant milk for an hour.
- While the tapioca soaks, add the raspberries and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and pureed.
- Pour puree through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium-size bowl. Stir and push on the solids with the back of a rubber spatula until all the liquid has been extracted. This will take several minutes as the mixture will be thick. Discard the seeds.
- When the tapioca pearls have soaked, transfer the mixture (including any unabsorbed liquid) into a saucepan and add raspberry liquid, coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
- Bring contents to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes continuing to stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat and allow the pudding to cool.
- Portion into glasses or bowls, and eat warm or chill overnight. Either way, add some fresh raspberries and chopped pistachio nuts just before eating and enjoy!
