Bibingka (Cassava Custard)

In this dessert from the Philippines, grated cassava and coconut milk make a rich custard, best served warm with coffee or tea. This recipe appeared in our March 2011 issue with Dorothy Irwin's piece on cooking with cassava, Taking Root.

Very good, a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will use half the sugar recommended
