Cassava Pudding (Yuca Root)

Posted byNoriePosted inRecipe, Snacks, Sweets

Cassava is also called Yuca here in the states and can be found in Hispanic and Asian stores or large grocery stores that also sell Asian or Hispanic produce.  They are large roots like large sweet potatoes but the skin is thick, dark brown and looks like wood. 

  • 1 large or 2 small yuca roots
  • 1 can Condensed Milk
  • 1 can Evaporated Milk
  • 1 can Coconut Milk
  • 1 stick melted butter (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • If using unsalted butter or no butter, add a dash of salt.

Remove the skin of the yuca with a peeler.  Grate manually or grate in a food processor with a grater attachment.  Mix well with the rest of the ingredients.  Pour in a large rectangular cake pan or 2 square pans lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 deg. F for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
