Ube Pichi Pichi Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ube Pichi Pichi is one of my favorite treats. Just like cassava cake, it is also made with grated cassava. Once Pichi is cooked, it is then rolled over shredded coconut before serving.

Pichi Pichi can be considered as a dessert or as a mid afternoon snack.  I remember having this with Filipino Spaghetti when I was still in Manila. I still enjoy the combination until now.

Making Ube Pichi Pichi is simple and easy. However, you should have a small mold and a steamer at least to get started. In terms of preparation, all you need to do is combine and mix all the ingredients together until well blended. Make sure not to include the coconut yet — it will be used towards the end of the process.

Steaming is the only method to cook pichi pichi. I used small silicone cups as molds for the mixture and arranged these in a bamboo steamer to steam for around an hour. I think that a bamboo steamer is more convenient than a metal steamer because I don’t need to put cheese cloth on top to prevent accumulated steam (which turns into water) from dripping. The bamboo cover prevents this from happening. Having extra water can affect the consistency of the mixture, that is why we need to control it.

Before I forget, let me tell you that this recipe needs a teaspoon for food grade lye water. I am using a safe amount for this recipe. Make sure to not go over the recommended amount (see recipe). This article about lye water might help answer some of your questions.

    Where can I find that silicone cup that’s cute and looks like it’s easier to use than the muffin pan.
