Questions

How do I know when Sweet Corn and Tapioca Pudding is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 2: cook until pearls turn translucent.

What can I use instead of coconut milk in Sweet Corn and Tapioca Pudding?

The entry for Sweet Corn and Tapioca Pudding calls for 1 cup canned coconut milk. In its place: Heavy cream or evaporated milk gives the same body without the coconut flavor. To stay dairy-free, blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.

How long does Sweet Corn and Tapioca Pudding keep?

When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
