In a pot add 1 cup of water and the bay leaf and bring to a boil.
Place the chopped cassava in a blender with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.
Add the blended cassava to the boiling water. Continue stirring until the cassava is cooked (Note: When cooked, the cassava will look translucent.)
Add the condensed milk and the remaining cup of water. Continue stirring until the porridge has a thick, creamy consistency. Adjust milk and sugar to taste as necessary.
