Ingredients
- 300 g taro
- 4 g purple sweet potato powder optional
- 105 g heavy cream
- 25 g granulated sugar
Instructions
Steam the Taro
- Peel the taro and cut it into evenly sized small chunks.
- Place the taro pieces in a steamer and steam over high heat for 20–25 minutes. Test doneness by piercing with a chopstick; if it slides in easily, the taro is fully cooked.
Initial Flavoring
- While the steamed taro is still hot, transfer it to a large bowl. Add 25g of granulated sugar.
- Use a masher or rolling pin to lightly mash the taro, allowing the sugar to dissolve using the residual heat.
- Add Purple Sweet Potato Powder (Optional)
- If you'd like to enhance the color, add 4g of purple sweet potato powder. Mash and mix until the powder is evenly incorporated, giving the taro paste a lovely purple hue.
Incorporate Heavy Cream
- Pour 105g of heavy cream into the bowl. Start whisking at a low speed to combine the ingredients, then switch to medium speed. Continue whisking until the paste becomes smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps.
