Sweet and earthy taro root combines with shortbread cookies and toasted coconut for a buttery and colorfully purple cookie dipped in white chocolate.

Taro Coconut Shortbread Cookies

all purpose flour

½ tbsp taro powder

salt

unsalted butter, room temperature

sugar

purple food coloring or ube extract (optional)

coconut

white chocolate

coconut oil

In a large bowl, sift flour, taro powder, and salt together.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar, until light and creamy. Beat in flour mixture and mix until incorporated. If you want a brighter purple color, add 1-2 drops of purple food coloring or ube extract, and mix until color is even.

The dough will look crumbly at first. Use your hand to form the dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread shredded coconut evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Line another baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray. On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough to about ¼ in thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut into shapes. Transfer the cookies to prepared baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.

Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool completely before dipping into chocolate.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second interval, stirring in between. When it is smooth and melted, stir in 1 tsp of coconut oil.

Dipped half of the cookie into melted chocolate, then place it on a clean baking sheet. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Allow the cookies to harden completely. You can place them in the refrigerator for 10 min to speed up the cooling process. Enjoy!

Taro Milk Tea Recipe From Taro Root

150 g taro (peeled and cubed)

tsp sugar

tbsp tapioca pearls

ml milk (can use plant based milk)

tsp condensed milk

Boil the cubed taro root for 20 minutes on medium heat. It should be soft enough to poke through with a fork.

Discard the water. Smash the cooked ground root until an even paste is formed. For a smoother paste, use a food processor or blender. Incorporate the sugar while the paste is still hot. Set aside.

Add your boba to a pot of boiling water. Add 2 tsp of sugar and allow this boil for 5-7 minutes. Once the boba begin to float these are done. Adjust the timing depending on how firm or soft you prefer them. Remove from hot water and set them aside.

Brew the ceylon and let this mix well with fresh ground root paste and condensed milk.

Finally, add the milk and tapioca pearls to the mixture. Serve the taro milk tea hot or cold.

Taro Mochi Recipe

sweet rice flour

milk tea powder ((as used to make bubble tea))

water

sugar ((usually white sugar))

taro paste

¼ tsp potato starch ((for dusting))

Mix the sweet rice flour, milk tea powder and sugar in a medium bowl. Add water little by little and combine thoroughly every time. This will become your mochi mix.

Spread

Then, spread the mixture in a 9x11 inch glass baking dish or any microwaveable dish. Make sure to cover the mix with plastic wrap.

Microwave and cool

For 4 minutes, microwave the mixture on the ‘high’ setting. Then, take off the plastic wrap and let it sit to cool for about 4 to 5 minutes. We want to cool the mix slightly.

Once the mix is cool enough for us to handle, cut the mochi into 12 large squares of about 2 inches on each side.

Mould

Pick up one square at a time, and place ½ teaspoon of sweet paste into the centre of the square. After that, pick up up the edges of the square and fold it over the paste to seal it inside the rice dumpling. Gently mould the dumpling into a nicely shaped ball. Finally, sprinkle and dust some of the potato starch on the ball. This is to prevent the ball from easily sticking. Repeat this for all 12 squares.

Assembly

A Southeast Asian/Malaysian Chinese dessert soup made with taro, yams, tapioca jellies, sago pearls in a flavourful pandan coconut milk.

Bubur Cha Cha

taro root

purple yam (peeled and diced)

2-3 discs palm sugar ((sweeten

coconut milk

g tapioca starch

C water

g pink pitaya powder

C dried sago pearls

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add in the diced taro and yam. Boil until taro and yam have softened, about 10-15 minutes. Drain into a colander and set aside.

Boil the taro and yam:

Next, make the tapioca jellies. Put the tapioca starch and pink pitaya powder into a medium bowl and add in the hot boiling water. Use a spatula to mix until a dough forms.  If the dough feels too dry, add in a little water at a time. The consistency should feel like playdough.

Use your hands to knead the dough and transfer it onto a flat surface. Roll into a long coil and cut into desired shape. Or flatten with a rolling pin and use a small cookie cutter to cut out shapes (like I did with the stars). Dust with additional tapioca starch if it&#039;s too sticky.

Fill a small pot with water and bring to a boil. Add in the tapioca jellies and cook for about 6-7 minutes, until they float to the top. Strain out the jellies and set aside in a clean bowl.

Make the tapioca jellies:

Using a small pot, add in the 1 C water and bring to a boil.

Pour in the sago pearls, give it a quick stir and turn off the heat. Remove the pot from heat and replace the lid. Give it a stir every so often. The sago pearls will be cooked when they&#039;re translucent, about 20-30 minutes.

Cook the sago pearls:

In a large pot, add the 3 C of water and the palm sugar discs. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar.

Tie the pandan leaves into a knot and throw them into the pot. When the sugar has completely dissolved, bring the heat down to a simmer and stir in the coconut milk. Remove the pandan leaves.

Next, gently add the cooked taro, yam, tapioca jellies, and sago pearls into the coconut milk. When the mixture is warmed through, turn off the heat and serve.

Serve bubur cha cha warm or chilled.

Assemble:

Bubur cha cha is a classic Malaysian delicacy made from a mixture of colourful sweet potatoes, taro, chewy tapioca jellies and sago pearls. This Chinese tapioca dessert soup also consists of a sweet, creamy, filling coconut broth. Learn how to cook bubur cha cha when you need a quick, hearty and filling dessert.

Bubur Cha Cha Recipe

100 g tapioca starch

sweet potato

orange potato

200 g gula melaka

70 g sago (or ½ cup (dry))

coconut milk (380 ml)

pandan leaf ((knotted))

First, make your tapioca jelly. Mix tapioca starch with 80 ml of boiling water. Stir everything quickly until you get a thick, pliable dough. Knead and roll into ½ inch cubes. Boil the jelly cubes in 500ml until they float. Transfer to a bowl of cold water and set aside. Drain the jellies before use.

Cut taro and sweet potatoes into 1 cm cubes. Steam the taro cubes for about 15 minutes until it becomes fork-tender. Then, set aside for later.

Boil sago in 500ml of water for 10 minutes until they turn translucent. Then, turn the heat off and let them simmer with residual heat for 10 minutes.

Then, add the sweet potato cubes to a pot with 2 litres of water. Boil everything for 10 to 12 mins. Then, set aside to cool down.

Cook a can of coconut milk over medium heat in another pot for 5 min. Add three knotted pandan leaves. Meanwhile, mix gula melaka with 100 ml of boiling water and stir to get a thick brown mixture. Afterwards, add the gula melaka mixture to the heated coconut milk and stir until fully combined.

Finally, add the steamed taro, sweet potatoes, tapioca jelly, and sago. Ensure that you sieve the sago pearls beforehand to remove excess water. Stir well and let everything simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes. Afterwards, transfer your Malaysian dessert into a bowl and serve.

This creamy, rich taro milk tea made with a jasmine tea base, milk and black tapioca boba tastes just like your favorite bubble tea recipe!

Taro Milk Tea (Taro Bubble Tea)

jasmine green tea bag

Simple Syrup:1/2 tbsp granulated sugar

Boba:1/8 cup quick cooking black tapioca pearls

For Serving:1/2 cup milk

ice (optional)

First, prepare the taro tea: Add the jasmine tea bag to the boiling water. Let the tea steep for 15 minutes. Remove the tea bag and add the taro powder. Stir until completely dissolved. Once at room temperature, put the tea in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours until cold. 

Meanwhile, make the simple syrup: On a small saucepan, heat the sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the syrup from the heat and set aside.

Next, prepare the boba: Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls. After about 20 seconds, they should float to the top. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Then, remove the pot from the heat, strain the boba and run them under cold water for a minute. Add the boba to the simple syrup mixture and set aside until ready to drink the tea.

Lastly, serve the taro milk tea: Stir the milk into the cooled taro jasmine tea. Add in the boba. If you prefer your milk tea extra cold, add a handful of ice.

This is such a fun recipe for a hot summer day! I had no idea it was possible to make bubble tea at home!
