    Tapioca Pudding that was a Dairy-Free Grand Prize Winner

    By Alisa Fleming on June 2, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sarah's Recipes

    This recipe for dairy-free tapioca pudding was the grand prize winner in the “video” category of our March Recipe Madness Contest back in 2014. It was created and submitted by Doug, Anna, and Jordan Melven. We’ve since updated this post with more options.

    In this adorable video, Jordan shows us how she makes her dad’s favorite dessert, cinnamon coconut tapioca pudding (recipe below).

    Dairy-Free Tapioca Pudding Tips & Substitutions

    We have made one slight ingredient modification to the Melven’s recipe, and also have a couple ingredient and instruction notes.

    • Milk Beverage – We love their choice of coconut milk beverage for this recipe. It is a richer, whole milk style alternative that performs very well on the stovetop. Keep in mind that other milk beverages can perform differently. If you have any trouble with the thickening of this dairy-free tapioca pudding (it breaks, thickens oddly, or is too thin), the culprit is your milk beverage. In general, richer milk beverages with minimal additives will perform best.
    • Egg – No, you do not need to temper the egg! Tempering is only needed when you have to add the egg after the fact. In this case, you can whisk it right in at the start. This helps to ensure a seamless result, too. If you confuse eggs with dairy, you’re not alone! See this post: Are Eggs Dairy?
    • Salt – We did prefer this recipe with a pinch of salt added. It helps to round out the flavor and heighten the cinnamon.

      Are there any substitutes you’d recommend for those of us also allergic to coconut?

        Hi Elizabeth, see the writing above the post. I have notes there on the “milk beverage.” You can use another type of milk beverage, but keep those notes in mind when trying one!
