Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups vanilla soymilk
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup instant tapioca pearls
- 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 Tbs. vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 3 Tbs. brown sugar
Preparation
Mix 1 cup soymilk with cornstarch and tapioca pearls, and set aside. Place banana slices into 11/2-qt. dish. Set aside.
Heat remaining 11/2 cups soymilk over medium heat, and stir in cornstarch-tapioca mixture, vanilla extract, butterscotch chips and brown sugar. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and pour over bananas. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Wine Suggestions
If you haven’t yet tried drinking sherry with dessert, this recipe would be a good place to start. The vanilla, butterscotch, creamy tapioca and especially the bananas are good matches with well-aged, dessert-style sherries based on the Pedro Ximenez grape. Try this pudding with Bodegas Toro Albala Don PX Gran Reserva.
