Coconut Tapioca Pudding

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup quick cooking pearl tapioca
• 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

1. Bring tapioca, coconut milk, and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
2. Beat egg in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in about 1/2 cup hot tapioca mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, then scrape egg mixture into tapioca mixture; stir. Simmer gently until pudding is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in vanilla until incorporated. Serve warm or chilled.
