A glass of tapioca pudding with raspberries.

Ingredients

1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 lg egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup cold 2% milk
3 1/2 cups hot 2% milk

Add hot milk to tapioca mixture and cook over hot water for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from hot water and let stand for 20 minutes.

  2. Add vanilla and mix, pour into 8 (1/2 cup) serving glasses. Cover and chill for approximately 4 hours. Serve chilled and garnished with fresh fruit.
