Taro pie, with its flaky crust and sweet, creamy filling, is a beloved dessert. Here’s a detailed guide to crafting this treat at home.
For the Crust:
Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt. Cut in ½ cup cold cubed butter until mixture resembles crumbs. Gradually add 4-5 tbsp ice water, mixing until dough forms. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour. Roll out one disc to fit a pie dish, prick the base, and blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
For the Filling:
Steam 2 peeled taro roots until tender, then mash. Mix with 1 cup coconut milk, ½ cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir until smooth. Pour into the baked crust.
Assembly & Baking:
Roll out the second disc for the top crust, seal edges, and cut vents. Brush with egg wash. Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes until golden. Cool completely before serving.
Optional: Add a layer of custard or sprinkle with nuts for extra texture. Enjoy this delightful blend of earthy taro and buttery pastry!
