(Source: leftover queen.com & giant eagle.com)
••••My 2 favorite things to eat-tapioca and caramel!!

•3 TB instant tapioca
•3 cups whole milk or half n half
•1 beaten egg
•1/3 cup sugar
•1 tsp vanilla
•1/2 bag of caramels, unwrapped (optional) melted
•+Whipped Cream (optional)

1. In a large saucepan, add tapioca, half n half, beaten egg and sugar. Mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes.

2 On medium-high heat start heating tapioca, stirring continuously. If you choose you can add the melted caramel,  just make sure that milk is getting hot so caramel will incorporate with the milk.

3.Continue stirring the tapioca mixture until it becomes a rolling boil. Take off the heat and add vanilla. Let set for 20 minutes to cool. Eat warm or chilled. Add whipped cream if desired. Add on top or mix in.
••••TO HAVE FROZEN••••

••••Place tapioca mixture in ice cream machine to get to soft serve stage or freeze in a container in the freezer for a firmer consistency. Keep frozen pudding well covered and use up after a few months. WIth caramel added, no need to add sugar. Mixture is quite sweet.
