How to Make Tapioca Pudding Easy Microwave Method

  1. Soak 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca pearls in 1 cup of milk overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 cups of milk, the soaked tapioca, and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Remove and stir thoroughly with a whisk.
  4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave for another 2 minutes. Do not let it boil over. If it seems like it's getting too close to boiling, reduce the microwave power.
  5. Whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave for another 2 minutes. Again, watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
  7. Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. Pour into individual serving dishes or a single serving bowl.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to cool and thicken completely.
  10. Serve chilled. For chocolate tapioca pudding, follow steps 1-9, then stir in 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips along with the vanilla extract and whisk until melted and blended.
