Taro Ball Dessert

These homemade winter taro balls are a delightful, chewy treat that combines the earthy sweetness of taro with the comforting texture of tapioca starch.

Shaped into bite-sized pieces and boiled until they float, these irresistible balls are served over tender sweet potatoes for a cozy, satisfying dessert. The natural flavors of taro and sweet potatoes shine through, enhanced by just a touch of sugar for balance. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, this dish is a comforting winter favorite that’s simple to make yet full of nostalgic charm.
