This is a delightfully light gelatin dessert with small pearls of tapioca mixed in. You may use any flavor of gelatin mix that you like, and even stir in your favorite fruit when you fold in the whipped cream.

Directions

  • Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and pour in the tapioca pearls. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes. If the mixture is clear, it is done. If not, set over low heat and warm slowly until it becomes clear. Heat the water to almost boiling if you did not have to reheat, and stir in the gelatin and sugar until dissolved. Cover, and refrigerate until almost set, about 1 1/2 hours.

  • In a large bowl, whip the cream using an electric mixer until fluffy. Fold into the gelatin mixture, and pour into a bowl or mold. Chill until set, about 2 hours.

If you don't like the name "Fish Eye Salad" at least keep an open mind and try it. Remember there is a WONDERFUL recipe for "Frog Eye Salad". It's all in a name isn't it? Read More

Mistakenly used minute tapioca - makes a big glutinous mess. Read More

My Grandma used to make a recipe similar to this she would cook the tapioca not add the gelatin and let cool. She would then make the whipped cream with sugar fold into the cooled tapioca mixture along with pineapple tidbits colored mini marshmallows chopped walnuts and sliced bananas (add bananas just before serving). This recipe brings back fond memories of a yummy holiday treat!! Read More

Yummy! Makes a great church potluck salad. I prefer letting the jello/tapioca mixture completely set before adding whipping cream. I liked the consistency better that way. Read More

Yumm! I used a mixed fruit flavored jell-o packet and if I had fresh sliced strawberries to mix in that would have made it even more delicious! I waited until the tapioca / jell-o mix had fully chilled before blending in the whipped cream. Read More

I used sugar free jello and cut white sugar to 3/4 cup. I think the white sugar, as listed in recipe, was more accurate. (My experience when cooking with sugar, Is I can usually remove some and it still taste fine. not so here.) Read More
