My niece found this refreshing dessert in her Great Grandmother's recipe book from 1938, Miss Dine About Town, Marvelous Meals with Minute Tapioca.
You can find the Raspberry Tapioca Sunset recipe on page 18, under Matinee Luncheon in Miss Dine About Town, Marvelous Meals with Minute Tapioca.
Its has only six ingredients plus water.
It calls for Sugar, Tapioca, Salt, heavy whipping cream, Lemon juice, and water.
And Fresh Raspberries!
You add the fresh crushed berries and lemon juice to the hot tapioca mixture after it comes to a boil.
Once it cools down you pour the mixture about 1/3 in to each of your serving dishes and Chill. Saving the remainder of the mixture to fold in your whipped cream and chill. Once chilled you add the tapioca and whipped cream mixture on top and top with whipped cream and garnish with some fresh raspberries.
I picked up these cute mini cups and spoons at my local dollar store.
Bottom layer is the raspberry tapioca, next is the raspberry, whipped cream tapioca, topped with fresh whipped cream and berries!
This vintage recipe is a refreshing, not-too-sweet dessert you're going to love.
I would serve this for Easter, Mother's Day or even a spring brunch.
Don't discard those old recipe books without checking them out. I overlooked the black and white photo (yes, I eat with my eyes) my niece pointed it out while going through her great grandmother's books.
Let me know if you have this vintage cookbook in your family cooking library.
Have you tried any of these vintage treasures?
