Description

This creamy and comforting Vegan Tapioca Pudding is a delightful dairy-free dessert made with small tapioca pearls simmered in a rich blend of full-fat coconut milk and unsweetened non-dairy milk, sweetened with organic sugar and flavored with vanilla and vegan butter. Perfect for a plant-based diet, this pudding offers a luscious texture and satisfying flavor, ideal for serving warm or chilled.

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
  • 2 cups unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (not instant tapioca)
  • 1/2 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Stir the coconut milk, non-dairy milk, tapioca pearls, sugar, and salt together in a small saucepan to create the pudding base.
  2. Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the liquid mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Let the pudding cook gently for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the tapioca pearls become plump and the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Add Flavorings: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the vegan butter and vanilla extract until the butter melts completely and is fully incorporated, enhancing the richness and flavor.
  5. Serve: Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm immediately or chill it for later use if preferred cold.

Notes

  • Use small tapioca pearls, not instant tapioca, for best texture and consistency.
  • Stir frequently during boiling and simmering to prevent the pearls from sticking to the saucepan.
  • The pudding thickens as it cools; adjust non-dairy milk amount if a thinner pudding is desired.
  • For a creamier texture, ensure to use full-fat coconut milk and vegan butter.
  • This pudding keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
