Shanghai biscuits

Why it worked

The video taps into a relatable 'mom's recipe' trope and offers a unique, visually appealing dessert that combines familiar elements (cookies, fried food) with an exotic ingredient (taro). The quick, step-by-step demonstration and the promise of a simple yet delicious treat make it highly shareable.

Summary

This video demonstrates how to make fried taro stuffed cookies using Shanghai crackers as the base. The process involves steaming taro, mashing it with sugar, butter, and condensed milk, then sandwiching the filling between crackers, coating them in a simple batter, and deep-frying until golden brown and crispy.

Currently craving this as I’m doing the voiceover. The perfect dessert to pair with ice cream 🤭 Taro Filling • 1 medium taro root, peeled and cut into chunks • 2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste) • 1 tbsp unsalted butter • 2-3 tbsp condensed milk Cookie • Shanghai biscuits Fry Batter • All-purpose flour • 1 egg • Water (add enough to create a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter) OR • Tempura batter mix (prepared according to package directions for extra crispiness) For Frying • Neutral oil (heat to 375°F) Directions 1. Steam the taro for 15–20 minutes, or until fork tender. 2. Mash with the sugar, butter, and condensed milk until mostly smooth (we like to leave a few chunks!). 3. Roll into small balls and sandwich between two Shanghai crackers. 4. Coat each cookie in the batter. 5. Fry in 375°F oil until golden brown and crispy.
