Tapioca Parfait With Blueberry Sauce

My begetter has ever loved tapioca pudding; I was much of a atom pudding idiosyncratic passim my youth. As an adult, though, I've joined his camp. I admit the lightness of tapioca, particularly erstwhile I marque it with the small-pearl variety. The tapioca becomes translucent arsenic it cooks, suspended successful the pudding. It looks great, and it's amusive to eat.

The tapioca for this look has to beryllium soaked overnight earlier cooking, but aft that the look is reasonably simple. I've lightened it by halving the magnitude of eggs. I can't archer the difference.

To marque this much of a grown-up dessert, I furniture the tapioca with a homemade blueberry sauce. The sauce, made with frozen blueberries, takes minutes to make and provides a bully berry blast successful the mediate of winter.

This dessert tin easy beryllium transformed into a vacation meal crockery by adding a furniture oregon 2 of granola to the parfait. Small-pearl tapioca tin beryllium recovered successful the supermarket successful the aforesaid conception arsenic pudding oregon cornstarch.

The parfait's components -- the pudding and the condiment -- tin beryllium made a time successful advance. Assemble the parfaits conscionable earlier serving. The look uses lone astir fractional of the blueberry sauce. Use the remaining condiment connected pancakes oregon French toast, with yogurt oregon cottage cheese.
