I love pudding, perhaps because it reminds me of my childhood and the exquisite aroma coming from my mother’s oven. Today I have a very delicious recipe for pudding lovers. This is a special one, for those who like cassava. It’s a dessert made with cassava powder (also known as tapioca), milk, eggs and lots of grated coconut. This is the traditional dessert of the Brazilian city of Salvador de Bahía… Truly delicious!

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    When baked in a water bath, it is advisable to heat up the water prior to putting the can in - at least 15 minutes prior.
  • tip 2
    One way to know if the pudding is ready is by inserting a knife into it; if it comes out clean, it’s probably ready.
  • tip 3
    Once it’s cool, run a knife around the edges to easily remove it from the pan.
