1. 1

   Prepare Taro Cream

   Peel and steam the taro root until soft. Allow it to cool, then mash it into a fine puree.

2. 2

   Make the Custard

   In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.

   Combine Ingredients

   In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract together. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

   Fold the taro puree into the custard mixture until smooth.

   Cool and Chill

   Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
