Ingredients

  • 2 cups Hydrated tapioca starch (massa pronta para tapioca)
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 tablespoons Condensed milk(optional)
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Butter(optional)
  • 0.5 cup Coalho cheese or Halloumi (cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat without adding any oil or butter.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Flip the crepe over and immediately sprinkle a portion of the shredded mozzarella and coalho cheese over one half.

  6. 6

    Add a generous tablespoon of shredded coconut over the cheese and drizzle with condensed milk if a sweeter profile is desired.

  7. 7

    Fold the crepe in half to cover the filling and press down gently for 30 seconds until the cheese is fully melted.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat and serve immediately while the exterior is slightly crisp and the inside is gooey.
