Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla soymilk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup instant tapioca pearls
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, or to taste
- Pinch of salt
- 1 15-oz. can pumpkin purée
- 2 cups mixed dried fruits, including cranberries, raisins and apples
- 1 cup toasted pecan halves, as garnish, optional
Preparation
- Put 1 1/2 cups soymilk and vanilla extract into saucepan, and stir in tapioca pearls. Stir remaining 1/2 cup soymilk with cornstarch, and, when well mixed, stir cornstarch mixture into tapioca mixture. Let sit 5 minutes.
