Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup small tapioca pearls
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 4 cups milk
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Combine the milk, sugar, tapioca pearls, beaten egg, vanilla essence, and salt directly in the bowl of a slow cooker.
  • Set the cooker to low heat and let the mixture cook for approximately 4 hours.
  • If convenient, stir the pudding every 30 minutes to encourage a smoother texture and avoid scorching at the bottom.
  • Once the mixture has thickened and the pearls are translucent, spoon into serving dishes and enjoy warm or chilled.

Notes

While not essential, stirring every half hour can significantly enhance the creaminess of the pudding and prevent sticking or burning.
Ensure the setting remains on low heat throughout the cooking process to maintain optimal consistency and prevent milk from curdling or scorching.
