My husband and I have enjoyed introducing many young people to homemade tapioca pudding. It has always been a big hit! For our older friends the pudding seems to bring back fond memories. Tapioca pudding is my go-to dessert when I have extra milk in the fridge. The recipe is so versatile that any of the coffees could be used with fun garnishes to compliment the flavor of coffee. When I think of Wisconsin I think of all things dairy so it seemed like a natural fit with Door County Coffee. The area is also known for cherries so it seemed a good fit to showcase the recipe with Door County’s cherry products
