Recipe Summary Taro Coconut Tapioca Dessert

Taro is a purple root vegetable, like a sweet potato, that is used in Asian recipes. Taro, tapioca and rock sugar can be found in most Chinese grocery stores. This recipe comes from the mom of one of my best friends, and I've loved it for years. It's a traditional Asian dessert, and like most, it is like a sweet soup. It can be served hot or cold. I have it hot the first night and refrigerate the rest for seconds the next day! When served cold, it will seem a little thicker.

Ingredients | Coconut Flour Desserts Keto

4 cups water

1 cup small, white tapioca pearls

6 cups water

2 cups raw taro root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk

⅔ cup rock sugar candy

Directions

In a saucepan with a lid, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, and stir in the tapioca pearls (pearls will swell in size). Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the tapioca until pearls begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Cover the pan, and let the tapioca pearls stand for 10 to 15 minutes, until the centers are clear. Gently drain the excess water, and set the pearls aside.

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan and stir in the taro root. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer the taro until soft, about 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and rock sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and simmer for 20 more minutes to blend the coconut milk and taro. Gently stir in the soft tapioca pearls until well combined. Let cool to room temperature, or serve chilled.

Raw taro root can be irritating to the skin or throat, so it's best to peel using rubber gloves. Peel thoroughly with a knife (skin is tough), and don't taste the taro until it's cooked through and soft.
