    Are you hankering for something cold and sweet to finish off a summertime dinner? Maybe something a little more sophisticated than popsicles, but not quite as time-consuming as ice cream?

    Then you’ve come to the right place – this creamy fruit pudding is simple to throw together and easy to dress up or down, in goblets for a fancy party, or just served in bowls for a family evening on the porch.

    Fruit Pudding

    The tapioca starch in the ingredients list might look a little suspect, but there’s nothing to worry about here. Tapioca is a dry powder extracted from cassava roots, which are a safe starch and perfectly safe to eat.

    You might also find it in the grocery store as “cassava starch” or “yucca starch.” In the pudding, tapioca starch works as a thickener, to help the pudding stay together. The overall effect is a texture that’s creamier and smoother than a pure fruit puree like applesauce, more like a typical dessert.

    When you’re choosing the ingredients for your pudding, you can use whatever kind of fruit you like; it’s a great way to use something that would otherwise go bad.

    For the orange juice, make sure you’re getting the real deal – check the label for any added sugar or preservatives. You could also juice your own for the absolute purest and freshest flavor available. But even with store-bought juice, this recipe is healthy and delicious, a sweet end to a long day.
