Pichi-pichi is made from grated cassava, mixed together with some flavors and steamed carefully, then covered with grated coconut to add more flavor.
Here are the ingredients:
- 3 cups grated cassava
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- Pandan Extract (Optional)
- Combine coconut milk and sugar and mix well. Make sure that all the sugar will be diluted in the water. Set aside.
- Combine with the grated cassava and other ingredients except the grated coconut. Mix Well.
- Make small circles from the mixture, usually it is flat oval shape. For us to save time and steamer space we make it into balls.
- Steam for 1 hour and allow to cool down.
- Roll the balls into grated coconut.
- Serve and enjoy.
