Equipment

  • Medium or large bowl  and wooden spoon or silicon spatula
  • Baking sheet (you want you can use mini muff pans if you prefer)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup whipping cream (35%)
  • 1 teaspoon salt I am giving you the amount I like to use as a reference, adjust to your liking. Also keep in mind that if using very salty cheeses you might not need as much salt.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour and salt.
  • Add the shredded cheese and whipping cream to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a dough with a playdough-like consistency forms.***
  • Taking small sections of the dough, roll them into little balls and place them on the prepared baking tray. Try to make them all the same size.
  • Bake in the preheated oven* for golden brown and puffed up. (The outside will be crispy and it is normal for the interior to have a cheesy and chewy texture. Baking time will vary depending on how big/small you made your Brazilian cheese bread balls.
