The package says I should soak it in water overnight. Do I have to do it?
No! Thanks to the Instant Pot, you don't have to soak the tapioca even for 1 minute. The Instant Pot does all the work!
Do I have to use vanilla extract?
No. This Instant Pot tapioca pudding would still be great without vanilla extract.
Instead of vanilla, you can use orange extract or lemon juice.
Should I serve it hot or cold?
This Instant Pot tapioca pudding will be firmer when it cools, so that you can choose to serve a smooth hot custard or a firm and cold pudding.
Both ways are fine 🙂
Do I have to use a plain milk?
No. You can replace the milk with almond milk or soy milk.
Can I keep it for later use?
Yes. You can keep it for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Excited to try this recipe! Will this work for both small and large tapioca pearls?
Delicious recipe for the Instant Pot.
Just finished my first batch of tapioca--perfect results! Question: seems to me that pre-heating the water would circumvent the time needed to soften the tapioca pearls & yet this has been recommended by several reviewers. Your thoughts?
