Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Tapioca Pearls Substitute with sago pearls if desired.
  • 1 cup Taro Peeled and cubed.

  • 1 can Coconut Milk The star ingredient for creaminess.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Bring 5 cups of water to a rapid boil in a large pot. Add the tapioca pearls and simmer for about 15 minutes until translucent. Cover and let sit for an additional 10-15 minutes, then rinse under cold water.
  2. Peel the taro root and cut it into even-sized cubes.
  3. In a pot, combine the cubed taro with rock sugar and enough water to cover them. Boil over medium-high heat, then simmer for about 20 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk and heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Fold the cooked tapioca pearls into the taro mixture and serve warm or chill for a refreshing treat.

Notes

Cut taro into uniform chunks for even cooking. Stir tapioca pearls often to prevent sticking.
