Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Small pearl tapioca
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, soak the small pearl tapioca in 1 cup of water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain any excess water using a fine sieve.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca with the whole milk and heavy cream. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it just begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the tapioca from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The tapioca pearls should begin to become translucent and tender at this point.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to the pot, stirring well to dissolve the sugar and incorporate the cocoa powder uniformly.

Step 5

Once the mixture is smooth and bubbling slightly, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the semisweet chocolate chips. Keep stirring until the chocolate melts completely and the pudding is silky and smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract as the final touch, ensuring it's evenly blended into the pudding.

Step 7

Transfer the pudding into serving bowls, ramekins, or a large container if you plan to serve later. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature before covering tightly with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours to chill and let the flavors meld. Serve cold and enjoy the irresistible chocolatey goodness!
