taro ice cream

Taro is one of my favorite flavors especially when it comes to pie, yogurt or ice cream so I thought of making this Taro Ice Cream. Recipe is very similar to how I made my Avocado Ice Cream. I used table cream on that one but here I used heavy whipping cream. But before I talk about how I made this ice cream, let's find out what taro root is. 
Taro is a starchy root vegetable that has a sweet, nutty flavor and texture that seems a combination of chestnuts and potatoes.

​There are two forms of taro, barrel shaped and the small ones like the photo below. I like using the small one because it is moister and very suitable when steaming or boiling.
​
Also, make sure to select taro roots that are firm and heavy for their size and unblemished. Taro root should have no mold or soft patches.

​Wear gloves or oil your hands when preparing taro becase it contains crystals of calcium oxalate just beneath its peel. This substance is sticky, bitter, and irritating to the throat and skin unless neutralized during cooking.

I  boil the peeled taro for 25-30 minutes or until it is fork tender. It has to be soft so that you can easily mash like  a potato.

​You can also use a blender if it's available. That will speed up the preparation process. Then I combine the condensed milk to it. I put them aside and whipped the heavy whipping cream until thick then I mixed the taro and condensed milk mixture. Simple and easy isn't it?

​Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or any container you prefer and cover with a food wrap pressed against the top of the mixture to avoid moisture or ice. Freeze for about 6 hours or overnight before serving.

  • Add the taro mixture and beat just until just combined then gently fold together with a rubber spatula until completely combined.
