Tears are streaming down my face editing this post… we finished up the last of this oh so tasty Pressure Cooker Almond Tapioca Pudding 2 nights ago and my only regret is not making more. We ate 2 of them right before the Oscars started and then 30 minutes later ate another 2 of them. I’m not going to lie, they’re packed with sugar, but it truly is such a special treat!

Tapioca might be one of those mysterious ingredients for you, but if you’re game for giving them a try, this is the perfect recipe to start! I highly recommend searching for the small or large pearls… stay away from the instant tapioca pudding for this recipe, mmk? You can go there for last minute dessert situations, but for this recipe, the pop of the large pearls just takes it up a notch!

The blueberry sauce is optional I s’pose, but the tang of the berries and the zing of the lemon zest complements the sweetness of the pudding, so really, it’s not optional. Do yourself a favor and whip this pudding up for a weeknight treat!

  1. I’m assuming it’s 1/2 tsp. of almond extract instead of the vanilla in the ingredient list. The recipe looks yummy. I’ll be making it soon.
