How to make taro paste
Report
Taro paste is a smooth, creamy blend made from steamed taro root and purple sweet potatoes. It combines the natural earthiness of taro with sweetness from condensed milk and sugar, finished with butter or oil for a rich, firm texture. The paste is cooked until thickened, ideal for use in desserts or pastries needing a velvety filling.
Description
How to make taro paste involves peeling and cubing taro root carefully to avoid irritation, then steaming it with purple sweet potato cubes until tender. After cooking, the vegetables are blended with condensed milk and sugar until smooth. The mixture is then cooked again with butter or oil, stirred regularly to firm up and remove excess liquid, resulting in a rich and creamy paste. The final texture is smooth and dense enough to hold shape, making it suitable for diverse culinary uses such as fillings in baked goods or sweet desserts.

Ingredients
- 4 cups taro cubes
- 1 cup ube cubes
- 3 tbsp. condensed milk
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. butter or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Start with peeling the Taro root. This vegetable root might irritate your skin; hence, it is advised to wear gloves or coat your hands with vinegar to prevent irritation. Use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove all the skin. Finally, slice the root into small cubes.
- Add these taro root cubes, along with some purple sweet potato pieces, to a saucepan and cover with water. Steam them for around ten minutes or until the taro becomes tender.
- Once Taro roots get boiled properly, you can add those chunks into the blender, followed by condensed milk and sugar.
- Start blending the mixture until it becomes a smooth, creamy paste.
- Moving ahead, add butter or oil, and Taro paste to a saucepan and stir regularly until the texture firms up. There should be no standing liquid, and the paste should be smooth and rich.
