Ingredients

• 1 cup tapioca pearls
• 4 cups milk
• 1 cup rice
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup raisins

Method

1. The evening prior, soak the tapioca pearls in milk and place them in the fridge to soften overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a sizable saucepan over medium heat, combine the soaked tapioca, rice, and milk.
3. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mixture, stirring constantly for about 15 minutes, making sure it doesn't boil.
4. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and gently fold in the raisins. Cover the dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil to keep the moisture in.
5. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, stirring in the vanilla extract after the first 20 minutes.
6. Let the pudding cool to room temperature before refrigerating it until it's fully chilled.
