Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups grated cassava (- no need to squeeze out liquids)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda solution (- (SEE NOTE 2) or 1 tsp lye water)
  • 1 cup coconut (- grated)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (- optional)

Instruction

  • In a deep bowl, combine all ingredients together and mix thoroughly.
  • Fill individual cup molds about three-quarter full or a bit more but leave some space because it can rise a bit while steaming.
  • Arrange the filled molds in a steamer and steam for about 20-30 minutes or until they become translucent.
  • Let them cool down completely so it is easier to remove from the molds, or place them in the fridge to shorten the cooling time.
  • Roll each Pichi Pichi in grated coconut or grated cheese.
