A lovely dessert made from a staple food of the Amerindians who were the original inhabitants of the Caribbean. Cassava is also known as manioc or yuca. It is processed into flour in the form of fine dried flakes which West Indians call farine. Farine is used to make breads make bread and porridge. It is also processed as small hard white spheres or "pearls" called tapioca that are soaked before use. This is my dad's recipe for this West Indian dessert.

Making this recipe was a great challange as we don't have cassava here in Israel. I did a bit a research and managed to approximate it by combining white potatoes, sweet potatoes and a healthy rutabaga. I'm not sure how authentic that was, but I do know that we had a lovely dessert this past Friday night. I used soy milk because I did not want to make the dessert dairy. I served this with some custard on the side. Thanks for submitting this to the tag game, I'm glad I had a chance to try it out!
