Instructions

  1. 1

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg white with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes, then set aside.

  2. 2

    In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stir the minute tapioca into the milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tapioca turns transparent and the mixture begins to thicken, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir half of the sugar and the salt into the hot milk mixture. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk with the remaining sugar.

  4. 4

    Slowly pour about half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk while whisking constantly to temper the yolk, then return everything to the double boiler.

  5. 5

    Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

  6. 6

    Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg white into the warm pudding until just combined. Spoon into serving dishes and chill thoroughly, at least 1 hour, before serving very cold.
