What each ingredient does

Eggs
Bind the tapioca and set into a custard-like texture when baked.
Tapioca
Thickens the pudding as it cooks, giving it a soft, chewy body.

The step that matters

Bake until set. Eggs firm up as they heat, so the pudding needs to bake until just set. Overbaking can make the eggs curdle and turn the texture grainy or rubbery.
