- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1 teaspoon Butter(optional)
- 0.5 cup Coalho cheese or Halloumi (cubed)

Sift the hydrated tapioca starch into a bowl and add a pinch of salt to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.

Spread about 1/2 cup of the tapioca starch evenly over the bottom of the pan using a spoon to form a thin circle.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the starch granules stick together to form a solid crepe that slides easily in the pan.

Flip the crepe over and immediately sprinkle a portion of the shredded mozzarella and coalho cheese over one half.
- 6
Add a generous tablespoon of shredded coconut over the cheese and drizzle with condensed milk if a sweeter profile is desired.
