Coconut Yucca Tiki Ingredients

Method

Coconut Yucca Tiki Directions

1

Prepare the Yucca

Peel the yucca root and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the pieces in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the yucca is tender.

2

Blend the Mixture

Drain the yucca and transfer it to a blender. Add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3

Season the Blend

Transfer the blended mixture back to the pot. Stir in the chili powder and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

4

Serve

Spoon the creamy yucca mixture into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
