Classic tapioca pudding is made with very little hassle in a slow cooker. There is no need to presoak small tapioca pearls prior to cooking.
Custards and Puddings
Chocolate Cream Pudding
Sugar, cornstarch, milk and unsweetened chocolate are cooked, thickened with egg yolks, cooked some more and then flavored with butter and vanilla before chilling.
Creme Brulee II
A wonderful baked creme brulee. Use white or brown sugar for the top. If you do not have a kitchen torch, a regular propane torch can be used or simply place the custard under the broiler for a few minutes.
Baked Flan
This is a quick and easy baked flan recipe that is prepared in the blender. It’s great served warm or cold and has a creamy texture like custard. Slice the flan and spoon a little of the melted sugar onto the top of the slice.
Panna Cotta
A traditional, easy, and delicious Italian custard. I had a difficult time finding a good and easy recipe on the internet, so I made up my own recipe. It tastes just like the panna cotta served at Italian restaurants. Serve with warm hot fudge sauce and fresh raspberries on top. This keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.
Pastry Cream
This is a classic pastry cream often used in bakeries and restaurants. It can be used as a filling for cakes, pies or pastries. To make a lighter filling, fold in plain whipped cream.
Creme Brulee
This is a very nice dessert to serve when entertaining. Delicious served over mangos sprinkled with rum, or strawberries with Grand Marnier® or Cointreau®.
Creamiest Rice Pudding
OK, so it’s a little time-consuming to make this on the stovetop, but for a real rice pudding fan, it’s worth every minute. My husband says it reminds him of the rice pudding he used to get as a child at a restaurant.
Hasty Chocolate Pudding
This pudding whips up in no time in your microwave… great for when you’re craving a quick chocolate fix! Stir in some chopped bananas before chilling for a nutrition boost.
Creamy Rice Pudding
This is my mom’s recipe for Rice Pudding. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted and it gets rave reviews from everyone I serve it to. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired. For creamier pudding, use short or medium grain rice.
