Easy traditional Filipino dessert (with slight modifications)
Ingredients
  • 1 package (~2 cups) (frozen or fresh) grated cassava
  • 1.5 cups coconut water, water boiled w/ pandan leaves, or regular water
  • 3-5 tb honey (adjust to taste) or maple syrup (V)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pandan essence (if you can't find the leaves; but go w/ leaves if you can't find this w/o artificial ingredients), or vanilla extract if you can't find pandan essence/leaves
  • ½ - 1 tsp grassfed gelatin (optional, gives it additional bite/acts as a 'lye water' substitute)
  • ½ cup fresh shredded coconut (or add some water to ½ cup dried coconut)
Instructions
  1. Mix all of the ingredients except the coconut together.
  2. Pour into nonstick molds (I used silicone muffin molds), place in a steamer, and steam for about 40 minutes or until mixture looks firm and translucent.
  3. Scoop out pichi-pichi using an ice cream scoop and roll in fresh coconut until completely covered.
