02Steps
  1. Peel and cut the taro into small cubes. Steam the taro until very soft.
  2. While the taro is steaming, cook the crystal pearls according to package instructions until translucent and chewy. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  3. Mash the steamed taro into a smooth paste.
  4. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
  5. Add the mashed taro to the coconut milk mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  6. Pour the taro pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish.
  7. Evenly spoon the cooked crystal pearls over the taro pudding.
  8. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly set and cold.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts generously over the chilled pudding.
