Adult Tapioca Dessert

Tapioca how can it be taken to a new level in making large pearl tapioca pudding recipe?  Thinking of a new twist to this classic dessert by turning it into a new adult dessert with a true kick. It’s party time! Remembering well how much I enjoyed Margaritas inspired me to create this dessert.

Choosing the right tapioca for this intoxicating creative dessert, texture is something more then just a simple thickener. Using an over the top ingredient like larger pearl tapioca, will give this dessert a slightly chewy texture. By soaking the tapioca pearls over night in milk to soften their starch is important to achieve the desired texture. The Minute Tapioca works equally well but doesn’t have the unique texture and look of large pearls.

Fond memories of “frog eyed pudding” comes to life with actual green lime color and flavor, infused with liquors. Thus the Margarita Tapioca Dessert was born which almost knock me flat!
