I've always failed at tapioca pudding. Until now. It came out smooth and creamy, with just enough tapioca texture to feel. I might add just a pinch more next time, but that would mean adding even more milk -- and that's my one caution: Plan to make 6 servings, or 4 enormous ones!

I have made this recipe several times, and found I could "bump" the flavor by using French Vanilla pudding and extra vanilla extract.
