Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 4 hrs
Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup tapioca pearls
  2. 4 cups almond milk
  3. 1/2 cup maple syrup
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  6. Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare your slow cooker by lightly greasing the interior with a plant-based oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tapioca pearls, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed and no clumps remain.
  3. Pour half of the mixture into the slow cooker, reserving the remaining liquid.
  4. Sift the cocoa powder into the reserved liquid and whisk until completely smooth and no dry cocoa powder remains.
  5. Carefully pour the chocolate-infused mixture over the first layer in the slow cooker, creating a two-tone effect.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat. Cook for approximately 4 hours, stirring gently every hour to prevent pearls from sticking to the bottom.
  7. Check the pudding's consistency around the
  8. 5-hour mark. The tapioca pearls should be translucent and soft, with a creamy texture.
  9. Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding rest for 15-20 minutes to allow further thickening.
  10. Serve warm or chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or coconut flakes.

Tips

  1. Always use fresh tapioca pearls for the best texture and ensure they are thoroughly mixed to prevent clumping.
  2. Grease your slow cooker well to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Stir the pudding gently every hour to distribute heat evenly and prevent pearls from settling at the bottom.
  4. For an extra smooth texture, sift the cocoa powder carefully to eliminate any lumps.
  5. Don't rush the cooking process - slow and steady is key to achieving the perfect creamy consistency.
  6. Let the pudding rest after cooking to allow it to thicken naturally.
  7. Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add extra flavor and visual appeal.
