Tapioca Pearl Pudding Recipe is a starch that is extracted from the cassava root. Topioca species is the native to the Northen Region of Brazil but it is well known throughout South America.
I tasted Tapioca Pearl Pudding during my visit to the region at my hosts’ house. I love the simplicity of homemade tapioca pudding; it is milk-based ice cream with tapioca starch or milk-based clustered with tapioca starch that is obtained from hundreds of slightly chewy tapioca pearls.

1. Beat milk, salt, milk powder, and cream into a saucepan of medium size; put in tapioca and allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes so as to hydrate.
