I missed my tapioca with great vanilla flavor. So this is what I came up with....because I like to eat tapioca hot.
In a mug 1/3 cup whole milk, remainder with heavy cream to within 1/2 in of rim.
Place mug on a saucer in the Microwave for 90 to 120 seconds. Watch carefully for first boiling....try to prevent any from boiling over. It's too good to waste.
Remove from microwave.
Add 4-6 drops of NuNaturals Stevia Vanilla flavored sweetener. http://www.nunaturals.com (http://www.nunaturals.com)
Doesn't have the texture, but it has the flavor and creaminess. I can have it anytime I'm hungry. And for when I'm hankering for something hot and sweet, but I don't want to chew.
Works for me.
All the best,
Ann

I remember reading somewhere that Chia seeds can be used as tapioca and berry seed replacements. Might be worth a try in your mixture for the missing texture.

Hi Ann I'm like you and love the tapioca ;D I'm wondering if maybe your whole milk you are using (even at 1/3 of a cup) will have a bit to high of a carb count for most of us following the FTS lifestyle.
Itsoversugar you are so right about the chia seeds. Here is what I have been doing. I mix:
1 cup of Silk sugar free vanilla almond milk (0 net carbs)
3 Tbs of heavy whipping cream (0 net carbs)
3 Tbs of DaVinci sugar free french vanilla (0 net carbs) [ if you don't have any you can use vanilla extract and FTS zero ;) ]
2 Tbs of chia seeds (1 net carb)
Mix all together and let sit for about 15-30 minutes. Mix and enjoy ;D If you like it warmed... place in microwave for a few seconds. 1 carb treat ;) ;)

Can you use them without thinking of a green burro sitting on your window sill? Makes me smirk!

No I can't seem to eat it with a straight face...HA! ;D ;D I made up some last night and added a bit of nut meg and cinnamon.....Yummm for breakfast :-*
Oh and I listed them as 0 net carbs.... I guess my package does say 1 net carb for 2 Tbs. :-\ So 1 carb for about 1 1/2 cup of pudding :) It's like a thin pudding though for those that are wondering (or maybe more like a thick shake that has melted?) .... so don't expect it to be thick ;) ;) I bet we could come up with a recipe that would thicken it up. Xanthan gum comes to mind.... ::) Cha cha cha chia!!!! ;D ;D

I'm going to try adding more heavy whipping cream this time to see what happens. Only maybe whipping it up first before I add it. I'll report back how it goes :)
Actually I think maybe I'm going to try using this that Suz posted about lemon pudding and just make it vanilla adding the chia seeds in. This may do it ;D ;D http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=4012.0 (http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=4012.0)

I love custard.Wicked low carb ;)

Thank you everyone for the replies and suggestions. I solved my need for texture by wisking a couple eggs before adding the dab of milk, wisking that, then adding the cream and mixing that in. Then I microwave it about 2.5 minutes and use the wisk to stir it several times to keep if from forming into custard lumps (and from boiling over). If I do it right, it becomes a lovely hot pudding. Then I add the vanilla flavor and powdered Stevia. I've discovered this gives me the flavor that I missed.
I needed the egg protein anyway, as I tend to neglect protein otherwise. I now eat this as breakfast and I feel much better for it. It's a delicious way to start my day.
All the best,
Ann
