   1                    egg -- separated
   2      cups          skim milk
   3      tablespoons   tapioca

  12                    dates -- quartered
     3/4  teaspoon      vanilla

Preparation:

Beat egg yolk. Mix in saucepan with milk, tapioca and salt. LeZ YOnd 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.
