Peel and dice the taro into small cubes. Steam the taro until it is very soft, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
Mash the steamed taro into a smooth paste.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until a smooth slurry is formed.
In a saucepan, combine the mashed taro, coconut milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry into the taro mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.
Pour the hot pudding mixture into individual molds or a large serving dish.
Let the pudding cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
Unmold the pudding, if applicable, and sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts before serving.
