Notes
Vanilla extract recipe available here.
Grated cassava (frozen) can be found in most Asian/Filipino markets. You can also use whole cassava and grate them by hand.
Ensure that you are using full fat coconut milk as any low fat substitute will compromise the texture and taste.
If you cannot find coconut condensed milk for the caramel sauce, you can always substitute with a 1/4 cup (60 g) of organic brown sugar.
