The unique texture of tapioca—creamy pudding studded with soft, slightly chewy pearls—inspires intense devotion among fans. This version gets lively citrus flavor from four incarnations of orange: zest, juice, liqueur, and fresh pieces of the fruit.

Cooks' notes:

·The egg whites in this recipe are not cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
