Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder
1/8 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup small pearl tapioca (not instant or quick-cooking)
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk, beaten to blend

Directions

1

Whisk milk, cream, milk powder, and salt in a medium saucepan; add tapioca and let sit 30 minutes to hydrate. Add sugar to tapioca mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the consistency of a thick soup, 10-12 minutes. Whisk in egg yolk and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes (it will thicken slightly). Let cool, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
3

Divide among small glasses. Chill pudding until cold (it will thicken), at least 2 hours. Serve topped with nutmeg.
