👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Peel and chop the taro into 1-inch pieces. Steam the taro pieces until very tender, about 20-25 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
2. While hot, mash the steamed taro thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth, removing any fibrous bits.
3. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add coconut oil and stir until melted and incorporated.
4. Add the mashed taro to the saucepan with the coconut milk mixture. Stir continuously over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes, pressing against the sides to ensure a smooth consistency, until the paste thickens and is uniform.
5. Remove from heat and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired.
