Hello and good day everyone. How’s everybody today? Great, I hope.
Well, today, I will share again another dessert; but it’s a foreign kind of dessert called “Cassava Pudding.” This particular type of root is originally from Asia specifically from the Philippine Islands. And I believe this root of cassava also can be found in South America and Africa as well.
This cassava root I only know how to make as a dessert. And as a dessert it’s popular in the Filipino kitchen and traditionally can be found especially in gatherings and family celebration in the household. And I learned how to make it from my mom, of course.
Cassava is starchy, sweet, and with a nutty flavor to it. But what I know about this root as I mentioned is to cook it as a dessert as it is called; however, I also heard that it can be served in many different uses or wide array of dishes, which I haven’t done or tried as of yet.
Anyways, one of the stores I went to yesterday or the other day was an Asian Market and I saw this grated cassava in the frozen section and that prompted me to think about the making the “cassava pudding. And a few hours after I came home I made the dessert since it has been a while since I I had made and tasted it.
And I also thought I would share this with all of you. And hopefully you will like this foreign type of dessert particularly from this root of cassava. Here is how you make it:

Meanwhile, make the topping while the pudding is baking in the oven.

Pour and spread the topping over the pudding and allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Or better yet put in the fridge for 30 minutes to set it firm.
