Taro Paste

After years of missing taro milk tea, I've finally made the taro paste at home to freeze so I can have taro milk tea whenever I please!

Ingredients

  • 1 small taro root peeled and diced (about 3 cups once cubed)
  • 2 small/medium purple fleshed sweet potatoes peeled and diced (about 1.5 cups once cubed)
  • ½ cup sugar*
  • ~1 cup plant-based milk I used soy, but you can use coconut for more richness, add more if needed for your blender/food processor

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Steam taro root and sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fork tender. I used a steamer basket, but any steaming apparatus works.
  2. Transfer the steamed taro and sweet potato to a blender or food processor and add sugar and plant-based milk, and blend until smooth. If you need to add more liquid for the mixture to blend, add as needed.
  3. Transfer to an ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen until needed!

Notes

  • *I prefer to stick on the lower side of sweetness and adjust to your liking when making your taro milk drinks
