Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups coconut milk, 3 eggs, 0.25 cup sugar, and 0.25 tsp salt until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Steam the 0.5 cup taro cubes over boiling water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks.
Step 3
Pour the custard mixture into a heatproof dish. Gently spoon the mashed taro and 0.5 cup pumpkin puree on top in dollops.
Step 4
Place the dish in a steamer over simmering water. Cover and steam until the custard is set but still jiggly in the center, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool slightly, then garnish with a fresh green leaf (like mint or basil) before serving warm or chilled.
