Date Tapioca

1 Egg, separated

2 c Skim milk

3 tb Tapioca

1/8 ts Salt

12 Dates, quartered

3/4 ts Vanilla

Beat egg yolk. Mix in saucepan with milk, tapioca and salt. Let stand 5 min. Beat egg white until stiff. Set aside. (My note: my mixer will beat a large egg white but not a medium one.) Bring tapioca mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add dates and cook, stirring constantly 6 to 8 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Gently fold tapioca mixture into egg white. Cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until chilled. 1/2 cup serving - 155 calories, 2 Starch/Bread exchange 6.2 gm protein, 1.7
