Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- ½ cup 2% milk
- ⅓ cup taro boba powder
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Dissolve the base: Warm the milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Whisk in the taro boba powder until completely smooth.
- Sweeten and cool: Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the warm taro mixture. Place the bowl in a quick ice bath for 5 minutes until cool to the touch.
- Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high until soft, cloud-like peaks form.
- Fold and freeze: Gently fold the chilled taro mixture into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Pour into a loaf pan, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and freeze for at least 8 hours.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Scoop into waffle cones or chilled glass bowls.
- Top with warm tapioca pearls, extra condensed milk, or crispy wafer cookies.
Tips & Tricks
- Keep it cold: Cold cream whips much faster and traps more air pockets.
- Never rush the cooling step: Pouring warm taro mix into whipped cream will deflate it instantly—think of a popped balloon.
- Fold with care: Sweep from the bottom up so you do not knock out all that fluffy air.
Storage Instructions
- Freezer storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
- Prevent ice crystals: Always press a piece of plastic wrap flush against the top surface before putting on the container lid.
- Soft scooping: Let the pan sit on the counter for 1 to 2 minutes before scooping. No reheating needed for this frozen treat!
