Ingredients
• 1½ cups grated cassava or frozen cassava thawed1¼ cup refined sugar
• 1½ cups water
• 1 cup grated Dairy Essence Filled cheese for toppings
Instructions
1. Prepare your steamer with 2-2½ liters of water and preheat over medium heat until it boils. In a mixing bowl, combine grated cassava, sugar, and water and mix well until sugar is dissolved.\
2. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Steam for about 30-35 minutes or until the mixture becomes sticky, translucent, and a little bit firm use a toothpick to check the consistency of your pichi-pichi.
3. The steaming period varies depending on the size of your pan. Cover your steamer with a fitted lid and clean clothing to catch the water drippings. When you reach your desired consistency you’re done, fire off, transfer it to a cooling rack, and let it cool slightly, before removing it from the molds. If you’re using a single round pan you can use a couple of spoons to scoop out the pichi-pichi. Arrange on a serving tray or plastic container and sprinkle with grated Dairy Essence Filled cheese before serving.
