Add flour and stir vigorously until a dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.

Spoon or pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake until puffs are golden and hollow, about 25-30 minutes.

While cooling, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Fold in mashed taro and food coloring until well combined.

Slice the puffs and fill with the taro cream mixture.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
