Chè Khoai Môn is a delightful Vietnamese dessert made from taro, coconut milk, and tapioca pearls, offering a creamy texture and a subtle sweetness. This vegan treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while enjoying a taste of traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Ingredients

• Taro - 200 grams, peeled and diced
• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Tapioca pearls - 50 grams
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Water - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a saucepan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the diced taro and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
2. While the taro is cooking, in another pot, bring 2 cups (500 ml) of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they become translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
4. When the taro is tender, mash half of it with a fork or potato masher, leaving the other half diced for texture.
5. In the saucepan with the cooked taro, add the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Add the cooked tapioca pearls to the taro and coconut mixture, stirring to combine well. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
