About

Cassava or yucca is extremely starchy and therefore excellent for a thick porridge. You’ll find that this finished porridge is shiny and almost translucent, with a toothsome texture, especially since the porridge is sweetened with condensed milk. If you like tapioca pudding, you will like this porridge as tapioca is made from cassava.

Place the cassava cubes into a food processor or heavy-duty blender with 2 cups of water. Process until smooth and thick without any lumps.
Bring 2 more cups of water to a boil along with the salt and cinnamon stick. Stir in the pureed cassava mixture. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking often, for 10 to 15 minutes or until thick and smooth.
