I’m down to the last handful of recipes that I created for the Real Women of Philadelphia contest . A few more to go, and things will return to normal here. I just want to make sure I get my recipes on the blog because I don’t know how long they will leave all the recipes up on their page.
This isn’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill tapioca pudding. By adding chocolate, almond liqueur and raspberries, we take this Creamy Chocolate Tapioca Pudding with Raspberries and kick it up to being “company-worthy” fare.

This isn’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill tapioca pudding. By adding chocolate, almond liqueur and raspberries, we take this Creamy Chocolate Tapioca Pudding with Raspberries and kick it up to being “company-worthy” fare.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup milk
- 4 ounces spreadable cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup quick cooking tapioca
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon almond liqueur
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese, tapioca, sugar, eggs, espresso powder, and unsweetened chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Slowly bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. This takes about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the almond liqueur (or 1 tsp almond extract).
- Let pudding sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pudding may be refrigerated. If refrigerating pudding, cover the top of the pudding with plastic wrap (directly on the pudding) to prevent a skin from forming on top of the pudding.
- Divide pudding between 6 decorative glasses. Top each dish with a dollop of whipped cream, a few fresh raspberries and a few almond slivers.
- Serve immediately for a warm, chocolaty, decadent dessert.
Oh my she says 'kick it up to be company worthy':) It is that and more. Fantastic photo and I can almost taste it..really Jeanine, this.is.decadent!!
Hmmmm! I'm normally not a fan of tapioca pudding but this one looks sinfully delicious.
Thank you so much, Betty & Eliana! My husband loves tapioca, my daughter hates it. I liked this version, but would have liked it a little more creamy one cold. Great warm though.
