Weird Cream

My Aunt Robin and my Uncle Jeff were coming over tonight so I decided I would make Tapioca Pudding, so I got the recipe and started. "Beat 1 egg white in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually add 3 tbsp. sugar, beating until soft peaks form.  

       Mix tapioca, another 3 tbsp. sugar, 2 c. milk and 1 egg yolk in medium sauce pan. Let stand 5 minutes. Cook on medium heat,stir constantly until it comes to a flu boil. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in egg white mixture until well blended. Then stir in one teaspoon of vanilla. Cool 20 minutes and then stir." Around step 4 I realized that this was the Fluffy Tapioca Cream, not the Tapioca Pudding. It's sort of interesting.
