Ingredients

Main Materials

200g fresh taro

80g glutinous rice flour

30g cornstarch

150g brown sugar boba pearls

120ml pure milk

100g whipped cream

20g granulated sugar

Auxiliary Ingredients

A small amount of butter

Coconut powder (for anti-sticking)

Condensed milk (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make creamy taro puree

   Peel the fresh taro and cut it into small pieces. Steam the taro chunks for 20 minutes until they are fully soft and easy to mash. Transfer the steamed taro into a bowl, add 10 grams of granulated sugar and a little warm milk. Mash and stir evenly into a smooth, thick taro paste. Set aside to cool.
2. Cook brown sugar boba

   Add an appropriate amount of water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Put in the brown sugar boba pearls, stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Take out the boba, rinse it with cold water to keep it chewy, then soak it in brown sugar water for extra flavor.
3. Prepare snow mochi

   Mix glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, remaining granulated sugar and pure milk in a bowl. Stir until no dry lumps remain. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and steam for 15 minutes. After steaming, add a small piece of butter while it is hot, knead fully until the butter is completely absorbed and the dough is smooth. Dust the surface with coconut powder to prevent sticking, then divide the mochi into small pieces and flatten them.
4. Whip light cream

   Pour the whipped cream into a clean, oil-free bowl. Add a little condensed milk if you like a sweeter taste. Whip with an electric mixer until it presents soft and delicate texture with slight lines.
5. Assemble the dessert cup

   First spread a thick layer of taro puree at the bottom of the dessert cup. Then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar bobo. Next, lay the soft snow mochi pieces, and top with fluffy whipped cream. Repeat the layers if you want a richer taste.
6. Final decoration

   Smooth the surface of the cream, sprinkle a little coconut powder or crushed taro crisps for decoration. Chill the cup in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a better taste.

Cooking Tips

1. Adding butter to snow mochi can greatly improve the texture, making it softer and more stretchy.
2. Do not overcook the boba; stewing after boiling is the key to a chewy texture.
3. Adjust the amount of sugar and condensed milk according to personal sweetness preference.
4. Keep the finished dessert refrigerated and eat it within 24 hours for the best flavor.
5. You can add taro balls or red beans as extra toppings to enrich the taste layers.
