Ingredients
- 2 pounds cassava roots
- 1 cup condensed milk
- ½ tick margarine - softened
- sugar - as needed
- 1 cup grated coconut - (optional)
- grated cheese - for toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Cut both ends and then cut the whole cassava root into 3-inch long pieces. Cut along the length of a piece and slid the knife in between the skin and flesh to create an opening. Peel of the skin of the cassava using hands or knife. Cut into half lengthwise Remove the woody core. Then cut into cubes. Rinse with running water thoroughly.
- Place the cassava in a steamer and steam about for 20 minutes. (See NOTE 1 for boiling).
- Transfer cassava pieces in a large bowl or a flat dish. Mash it into a fine texture using a potato masher. Do it one piece a time so it is easier. (See NOTE 2)
- Add the condensed milk and softened margarine. Add the grated coconut. Add additional sugar if you find the need. Mash again until well blended.
- Grease a pan or dish with margarine. Scoop the mashed cassava and press it evenly using a spatula or fork.
- Cut into 9 pieces and serve as is or top with more grated coconut or cheese.
Notes
- NOTE 1. You can also boil the cassava instead of steaming. Just place the cassava cubes in a pot. Fill with enough water to cover the top and boil for 20-30 minutes until cooked but not soggy.
- NOTE 2. You may use an electric grinder or the grater function of your mixer to grate the cooked cassava to save you the effort and time of doing it manually. I would next time!
