Instructions
- Peel the taro, cut it into pieces and steam or boil it for 15 minutes until tender.
- Mash the cooked taro with a fork or blend it with a little water to get a smooth purée.
- In a saucepan, mix the water and agar-agar, then bring to the boil while stirring for 2 minutes to dissolve the powder completely.
- Add the sugar, the pinch of salt, the coconut milk and the taro purée. Whisk well.
- Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then add the vanilla.
- Pour the mixture into moulds or a large dish, let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Unmould or cut into diamonds, sprinkle with desiccated coconut and serve well chilled.
Variations and tips
Condensed milk version. Add two spoonfuls of sweetened condensed milk for a creamier, sweeter flavour.
