Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup pearl tapioca
• 2 ½ cups 2% low-fat milk
• 2 cups prepared eggnog

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the tapioca pearls into a bowl and soak in the water for 6 hours to overnight.

Step 2

Using a strainer, drain excess water from the soaked tapioca.

Step 3

Mix the milk and eggnog in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and heat until barely warm; stir in salt and soaked tapioca. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture barely simmers. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Beat eggs in a bowl. Temper the eggs by whisking about 2 tablespoons of the hot tapioca mixture into them. Continue whisking small amounts of tapioca into the eggs until the egg mixture is about half tapioca.

Step 5

Whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan of tapioca and turn heat up to medium-low. Simmer the pudding until thickened, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Serve warm or cold.
