Cassava Flan Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups cassava, grated ( I used frozen ready-made cassava in a pack but fresh can be used by grating and squeezing some juice)
1/2 of 1 can coconut milk ( about 3/4 cup)
1/2 of 1 can condensed milk (about 3/4 cup)
1 large egg
7 & 1/2 tbsp sugar (2 & 1/2 tbsp each llanera mold)
butter for brushing
Procedure:
Spoon 2 1/2 tbsp sugar in a flan mold or lyanera. (Prepare 3 molds).
Caramelize over low heat until sugar turns to light golden brown.
Using a thong, swirl the caramel evenly on the flat side of the mold.
Remove from heat and cool completely.
​If llanera is not available, you can use these oval pan or oval ramekins
In a large bowl, add cassava, coconut milk, condensed milk and egg.
Stir until well combined.
Pour mixture into molds with caramel. Divide evenly into three molds.
Heat water on a steamer over medium heat. Steam for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until set.
Use a toothpick to test if it comes out clean. (Make sure to cover the lid with a cloth to avoid water drips.)
Remove from heat and cool completely.
To unmold, run a knife around the cassava flan. Place a plate on top of the mold and invert.
Tap the bottom of the mold a few times to release the flan.
Remove the mold.
The top will have some dark dark caramel.
You can smooth by scraping with a knife or spatula but that's optional.
Slice and serve. Enjoy!
