Creamsicle Tapioca Pudding
Originally posted by Michelle Kane
soy-free gluten-free
serves 6 (It’s about 80 calories a serving!)
1/2 cup (76 g) small pearl tapioca
4 cups (960 ml) Light Coconut Milk*
2 teaspoons orange extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweeten to taste with agave, honey or stevia*
Place all the ingredients into a 3 to 4 quart slow cooker. (Double the recipe if you have a larger one.)
Cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours or on high for about 2 hours. The size of your slow cooker and how hot it runs will change the exact cooking time. Taste and add extra sweetener if you feel that you need it.
The pudding will not set up all the way in the slow cooker (and will look like it may never set up). But it will set up perfectly after a few hours in the refrigerator. I like to portion mine out so I can just grab some from the fridge when I want it!
* You can substitute any nondairy milk if the coconut milk. You will just need to adjust the sweetness using your favorite sweetener. You can add the sweetener at the beginning of cooking or stir it in after, so almost every sweetener works in this. If you use plain nondairy milk you may also need to increase the vanilla or decrease the orange extract.
I got this recipe from Fat Free Vegan Recipes! Tastes amazing!!!!! Enjoy!!!

I tried your Creamsicle Tapioca Pudding, and the recipe needs to be corrected. I made it exactly as written, and after two days, it never did set up. The flavor is totally awesome, but the texture was like soup. I checked the cooking directions on my bag of tapioca, and it says to use ONLY TWO CUPS OF MILK to 1/2 cup of tapioca. So it should have stated 1 cup of tapioca to the 4 cups of coconut milk to make is set up. Because the flavor was so good, I will make it again with those corrections.
