Classic tapioca pudding is made with very little hassle in a slow cooker. There is no need to pre-soak small tapioca pearls prior to cooking. Serve warm or put in individual containers and keep in fridge.

I sub’d Truvia for the sugar which worked out fine in case you want to use a sugar substitute. Slow cookers are like microwaves, cooking temperatures vary widely. Mine was done in about 3 hours, so I would caution you to keep an eye on your cooker so it doesn’t burn. The pudding was rich, loaded with vanilla flavor, and very creamy. Although I’m not a huge slow cooker fan, this is one recipe that I would make again. Read More

First time and will be the last time. Followed directions as written. I've always made fluffy tapioca on the stove with constant watching and stirring and with care. Always came out fantastic to eagerly awaiting children. Folded beaten egg whites into the finished product. Mouth watering. Slow cooking just doesn't cut it. No real control over the process. I could have eaten Elmer's glue rather than what turned out. Probably would have tasted better. Read More

So easy and so delicious! I subbed Vanilla Soy Milk and did not add any additional vanilla. It was extra delicious with some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top. Read More

4 hours is plenty. If you can stir it every half-hour, do so in order to avoid tapioca bead clumps. Final product was fantastic! Will be making it frequently in the foreseeable future. Read More

Made this tapioca pudding and loved the flavor and texture. Yes it takes a while but well worth the wait. I even add vanilla beans to add a bit more flavor and exquisiteness. Yum! Read More
