This is not super sweet. You can add more sugar to the recipe but we had it with a teaspoon of homemade strawberry jam. Dad got to have homemade Raspberry ? we loved it warm.
Note : The hot pudding pasteurizes the raw egg whites.
but if you are concerned, look up the Swiss meringue on all Recipes website.
3 egg whites
3 egg yolk
8 Tbsp granulated sugar
8 Tbsp minute tapioca
4 cups milk
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
Beat yolks until the color of a lemon rind, add 1/4 c milk, add the sugar and salt, stir and add the rest of the milk.
Bring to a boil and boil for 3 min stirring constantly . Cover and turn burner off, let stand on the hot burner.
Beat egg whites quickly until they stand up stiff and are almost dry. Pour hot pudding slowly over egg whites as you fold them in. let stand for 20 minutes and then fold in gently again. (Starting the spoon from the bottom of the dish as sometimes the tapioca starts to seperate from the egg whites.)
Do not over mix at anytime. Let cool. Place in refrigerator if desired or if you have any left over. May be eaten cold or warm, as desired.
Serve with a dollop of jam or whip cream. Or pour a little cream on it.
