- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Add in the mashed taro, almond flour and pitaya/dragonfruit powder.
Make the mochi:
- Combine the mochiko, sugar, and water in a shallow bowl. Give it a mix.
- Cover with a lid and microwave for about 1 minute, 30 seconds, until translucent. Stir the mixture.
- Divide the mochi mixture in half.
Assemble:

- Repeat with the remaining croissant.
- Bake the croissants at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until golden in colour. (If the tops are browning too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil over top).
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Add a dusting of powdered sugar and serve freshly made.
