Taro has a mildly sweet, earthy, and slightly nutty flavour that is distinct and subtle. It pairs well with coconut, vanilla, and purple sweet potato in both Asian and Western-style baking. How much taro essence do I use in buttercream? Start with 1/4 teaspoon per batch of buttercream and adjust to taste. Oil-based flavourings are concentrated, so a small amount delivers strong character. Combine with a few drops of purple food colouring to achieve the signature taro aesthetic.
