Tapioca pudding is a comforting, classic dessert that has been enjoyed by many for generations. It originated in Brazil, where tapioca is a staple ingredient in many dishes, but has since become popular in many other parts of the world. The pearls are cooked in milk until they become thick and creamy, then sweetened and flavored with vanilla extract. The result is a delicious and creamy pudding that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you serve it warm or chilled, on its own or with fresh fruit, this tapioca pudding is sure to delight your taste buds.
