Description
A delightful and tropical dessert from Madagascar made with cassava and coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated cassava (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava, shredded coconut, coconut milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tart pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tart is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the tart from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve the tart at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add 1/2 cup of diced pineapple or mango to the mixture before baking.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.
