Nut Butter & Jelly Raspberry Tapioca Pudding

Nut Butter & Jelly Raspberry Tapioca Pudding Recipe Overview

Tapioca is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant. The plant originated in Brazil but became widespread throughout South America and Asia. The pearls made of tapioca starch, when cooked, turn translucent and expand in size. If not rinsed, they create a jelly-like consistency.

And this is what we are after in this Nut Butter & Jelly Raspberry Tapioca Pudding recipe. Tapioca pearls cooked in plant milk along with coconut cream get the pudding-like creamy consistency. That combines so well with the berries, jam and nut butter (peanut, almond or any other of your choice).
