Here’s a delicious and easy Taro Milk Cream Truffles recipe you can make at home. They’re creamy, subtly sweet, and have that lovely earthy flavor of Taro root.
🥥 Ingredients (makes ~12–15 truffles)
- 1 cup Taro root, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup White chocolate (for coating)
- Optional: shredded coconut or cocoa powder for rolling
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the taro
- Steam or boil the taro until soft and easily mashed (about 15–20 minutes).
- Drain and mash into a smooth paste.
2. Make the filling
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine mashed taro, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
- Stir continuously until the mixture is thick and sticky (about 5–7 minutes).
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Let it cool completely in the fridge for 1–2 hours.
3. Shape the truffles
- Scoop small portions of the taro mixture and roll into balls with your hands.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray.
4. Coat with chocolate
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or microwave.
- Dip each taro ball into the chocolate to coat completely.
- Optional: Roll in shredded coconut or dust lightly with cocoa powder.
5. Chill and serve
- Place the truffles in the fridge until the chocolate sets (about 30 minutes).
- Serve chilled.
🍽️ Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or matcha powder to the taro mixture.
- You can swap white chocolate for dark chocolate for a less sweet version.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
