How to make Pichi Pichi Recipe.
Pichi Pichi infused in Pandan with grated Coconut Recipe. Pichi-pichi is a Filipino cassava dessert recipe, an all time favourite kakanin. Pichi-Pich is very soft, sweet, sticky tapioca dessert, originally infused with pandan leaves and green food colour or bottled pandan essence. It is made from fresh grated cassava, sugar, water and pandan, steamed then coated in fresh grated coconut.
Pichi Pichi Ingredients:
- 1½ cups grated cassava
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 1½ cups water
- 1 tsp. pandan or buko pandan essence
- 2 cups fresh grated coconut
Cooking Procedure:
- To prepare the grated cassava first wash the cassava to get rid all the dirt and peel off the brown and white silky outer skin. Using a fine grater, grate cassava and remove the hard stems in the middle and discard. Keep on grating until you’re done with all your cassava. Place grated cassava on a clean cheese cloth and squeeze out all the juices before using. If using a frozen cassava just thawed it first before using. Mix the cassava, sugar and water in a bowl and mix until smooth, then add the pandan essence and mix until well blended. If you don’t have a fine grater you can use a blender and blend the cassava mixture to make it smooth and stir in pandan essence.
- Pour the mixture into an 8 inch round pan or any similar pan or mini molds that fits in your steamer and place in a preheated steamer. Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam over medium heat for about 28-30 minutes or until just firm and looks translucent like a gelatin. Let it cool completely, before removing from the molds. If you’re using a single round pan you can either use a spoon to scoop out or use a greased cookie cutter. Coat with fresh grated coconut before serving.
These look so unique. I’ve never seen anything quite like them but I would love to try them. I’ve never heard of pandan essence before. Where would you find something like that?
You can find them at your local grocery store I bet, like Target or Safeway. The brand McCormick has some!
I never thought this can be very easy.

Wow. It seems so easy to make them! But I am quite hesitant to make one because cassava spoils easily and causes you tummy aches. Well, I guess practice makes perfect so I’ll have to make some to master it. 🙂 Thanks for the post!

Wow! I always loved pichi pichi and I have no idea how to prepare it. Thank you for sharing, means a lot
Hmmm… Interesting! I know how to prepared this. For me I think Pandan Pichi Pichi is much yummilicious with grated cheese rather than grated coconut.
