Dawn's Tapioca Pudding

Dawn's Tapioca Pudding

This recipe calls for a rice cooker with "fuzzy logic".  Not the cheap rice cookers, but the more expensive ones like the Zojirushi 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker.

32 oz unsweetened almond milk
7 oz Reese large pearl tapioca
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs (divided)
1 pinch salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbl vanilla

Soak tapioca pearls as directed.

Place drained tapioca, almond milk, sugar, eggs YOLKS and salt in the rice cooker bowl.  It's probably a good idea to beat the egg yolks before putting them in.  Stir to combine.

Set rice cooker for Porridge mode and start.  Stir for a few seconds every 20 minutes.

When rice cooker goes into keep warm mode, take eggs WHITES and 1 tsp of sugar and whip until stiff peaks.

Add vanilla to tapioca mixture and stir.  Fold in whipped egg whites.

Let cool a bit, then eat warm.
Or pour into containers and serve cold.
It's good either way.

I'd say there were 6 nice-sized servings (it was quite filling), so that's only 300 calories per serving.
