½ cup sugar (100g), or to taste

Peel and cube taro root. Boil in water for 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
Mash the cooked taro with a fork or masher, leaving some small chunks for texture.
In another pot, boil 4 cups of water. Add tapioca pearls and cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let sit covered for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In a saucepan, mix mashed taro, tapioca, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well over medium heat.
Cook 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened and creamy.
Enjoy warm, room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with toasted coconut or fruit if desired.
