Pichi Pichi

Pichi-Pichi is a gelatinous dessert  made from grated cassava and sugar. The concoction is placed in a mould and steamed until a sticky-gelatinous texture is formed. After steaming, this is coated with grated coconut or cheese. I preferred using grated cheese to counterpart it's sweetness.
