First, I want to sincerely apologize for the poor results of this recipe. I can only imagine how disappointed and frustrated you were when it didn’t turn out.

At the time that I wrote the recipe, I used a Pressure Cooker XL, and my instructions reflect those settings. The “rice” setting worked well, and I didn’t get a burn warning. I think it’s possible that the Instant Pots run hotter as I now have 2 of them.

I’m going to make this again in my Instant Pot when I return home from holiday travel. I echo Barbara Schievings recommendation to try doing tapioca pot in pot. I will also talk to her about updating the steps to include numbers that make them easier to read.

Again, I am so sorry for your results. Happy holidays,

Tamara Andersen.

The way the ingredients are listed are not specific to the steps. It would make more sense in my mind to have the four separate recipe steps for the tapioca to be spread apart and labeled. i.e., Step 1: tapioca, coconut milk, ginger, lemongrass. Step 2: egg yolk, etc etc. Step 3: candy cashews… Overall this recipe was crap and now I know to set the damn pressure cooker to the rice setting versus high.

Not impressed with this at all, which was a huge disappointment, given that we were excited to serve this dish for friends. This stupid recipe burnt the hell out of my pot and now there is burnt tapioca caked to it. I honestly wouldn’t recommend following this vague and poorly written recipe. If you modify this recipe to have less sugar in the pudding and cooked to a lower heat setting, I think you mat have better luck than we did.

Hi Chris – I’ve had good luck cooking tapioca pot in pot. Cook the first steps in a pan on a rack above a cup of water. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
