Description
Fluffy creamy tapioca pudding with half the sugar and all the sweet fun – for kids or anyone.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca (I used Minute brand)
- 2 cups 1%-fat milk
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- Strawberries and banana slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with an electric beater until just starting to form soft peaks. Slowly add in 1 tablespoon sugar and continue beating until sugar is incorporated.
- Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, tapioca, milk and eggs in a medium saucepan and let set (without heating) for 5 minutes. Heat saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until mixture comes to a full boil. Turn heat down to low; quickly and gently stir in egg whites and fold gently for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and banana.
- Pour into individual glass dessert dishes; or to serve in plastic lunch box resealable containers, allow to cool slightly before spooning into dishes. Garnish with strawberries and bananas.
