Pichi Pichi is another traditional Filipino delicacy made from grated cassava and sugar. It is a gelatinous dessert and can also be eaten as a heavy mid-afternoon snack. The concoction is placed in a mold and steamed until a sticky- gelatinous texture is formed. After steaming, this is coated with grated coconut for additional flavor.
2 cups grated cassava
2 cups white sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon lihia
Mix all ingredients and steam for 45-50 minutes. Slice or spoon and roll in grated coconut.
