• 3 tbsp milk powder (20g)
• ⅔ cup cream cheese (150g)
• ½–1 tsp purple sweet potato powder (for color)
Steps:
1. Cut taro into chunks and steam until fully soft, a chopstick should slide through easily.
2. Add milk, sugar, butter, and milk powder to the hot taro and mash into a smooth paste.
3. Mix in purple sweet potato powder for color.
4. Portion cream cheese into 15g (about 1 tbsp) balls.
