Sugar-Free Black Forest Tapioca Pudding

Black Forest Tapioca Pudding

SERVES 4 to 6

Here’s a yummy twist on traditional tapioca pudding, deliciously updated with rich chocolate and tart cherries.

1. In a medium-sized heavy non-aluminum saucepan, bring water and tapioca syrup to a boil. Slowly add tapioca pearls, stirring to keep from clumping. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 to 15 minutes or until tapioca begins to look translucent and mixture has thickened.

2. Add cocoa powder and thoroughly blend until there are no lumps. Whisk in coconut milk, salt and dried cherries. Continue to cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Remove from heat and add almond extract. The pudding will thicken more after cooling. Place pudding in a bowl or individual serving bowls and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    *TIP Try John Mountain Organic Tapioca Syrup, available at www.mel-o.com.
