Equipment

Method
 

  1. If using fresh taro, peel, chop, and boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, drain and mash the taro until smooth.
  3. Measure out the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
  4. In your blender, combine the mashed taro, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the shake is frothy.
  6. Give your shake a taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Pour the Taro Shake into serving glasses and enjoy fresh.
  8. If desired, top with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

This shake is best enjoyed fresh. For a thicker shake, use frozen taro instead of fresh.
