Creamy tapioca pudding pops with cinnamon flavor.  This pudding made from Almond Milk gets its warm flavor first by infusing the milk with cinnamon sticks and then adding ground cinnamon.  Turn this delicious dessert into a parfait by layering with Sauteed Apples.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 Cups Almond Milk
  • 1/3 cup Tapioca Pearls
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place almond milk in a 4-quart saucepan with 2 cinnamon sticks (optional step)*.
  2. Heat milk over medium-low heat, just until milk is warm.  Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes to an hour.* 
  3. Remove cinnamon sticks and add tapioca pearls.  Let soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Reheat milk and tapioca mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Cook until tapioca is tender about 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, salt and ground cinnamon.
  7. Temper the egg yolks, by slowly adding a 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture while whisking.
  8. Once the egg mixture is tempered, slowly pour it back into the saucepan with the remaining heated milk. 
  9. Increase the heat to medium-low and cook pudding while stirring continuously.  Continue to cook until pudding has thickened, about 15-20 minutes. 
  10. Pour pudding into individual pudding cups or into a large serving bowl, let cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  11. Cover any unused pudding with plastic wrap, pushing the wrap down into the pudding.  This will help to keep condensation from making the pudding watery.

Notes

*Steeping the cinnamon stick in the milk, allows the milk to develop a mild cinnamon flavor which adds to this puddings deep flavor.  If you are pushed for time, this step may be omitted.
