Beat egg yolk. Mix in saucepan with milk, tapioca and salt. Lez YOnd 5 Minuten

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.
