Preparation
Preparing the Cassava
Peel and Grate
Peel the cassava and grate it finely using a box grater.
Ensure all cassava skin and fibers are removed to avoid any bitterness. Use a food processor for faster grating of the cassava.
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated cassava with coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Rest
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preparing the Coconut Cream
Whisk
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Chill
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cooking Process
Baking the Pudding
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and pour the cassava mixture in. Bake for 1 hour or until the pudding is set and a golden top is achieved.
Cooling
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
