Cassava Flan

This Cassava Flan is so easy to make and very delicious! It's not too sweet despite having caramel on top. I adopted this recipe from my Cassava Cake. If you have tried it before, I know for sure you'll love this as well. I just cut the recipe in half and added an egg. Just 5 ingredients to make this. So simple and doesn't need to use an oven. Steamed it for 45 minutes to 1 hour and voila it's done!
​Some recipes uses evaporated milk but using coconut milk is way better. Creamy and probably the best Cassava Flan you'll taste! 

​This recipe can  yield 3 medium llanera molds. I just used 1 pack (16 oz) of frozen grated cassava, thaw and halved the cans of coconut milk and condensed, added an egg and that's it! If ready-made cassava is not available, just use fresh, grate it and drain excess juice. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Enjoy!

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!
