Another way to get children to eat their corn!  These starch rocks contain chunks of ‘gold’ corn and are served in a coconut sauce with syrup to sweeten them. Corn has a natural sweetness that makes it good for desserts like this, and adding a little bit of fun by calling them gold rocks helps.

Ingredients

• 100 gms Cassava Starch Flour
• 100 gms Boiling Hot Water
• 100 gms Sweetcorn
• Food Colouring

Preparation
1. Mix the colour with the hot water and pour into the cassava starch. Stir to make a dough.
2. Add the corn, and stir it in, take pieces of the dough and press the corn into the sides of the dough to form a rock shape (see the photograph). A small handful of the mixture in each rock.
3. Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop the rock into the biling water to cook for 5 minutes, these rocks are large and need to have a long time to cook.
4. Scoop out of the boiling pan with a sieve and drop them into cold water.
5. Serve with syrup and coconut sauce.
