Coconut Yucca Tiki Ingredients
Method
Coconut Yucca Tiki Directions
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.
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.
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.
