HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, combine the hydrated tapioca flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until the mixture resembles wet sand and can be pressed together, but is still crumbly. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit more water; if too wet, add a little more tapioca flour.

02

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with 1/2 teaspoon of butter.

03

Using a fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the tapioca mixture evenly over the hot skillet, forming a thin, round crepe. Ensure there are no gaps.

04

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the crepe holds together. Do not flip it yet.

05

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the shredded coconut over one half of the crepe.

06

Using a spatula, carefully fold the plain half of the crepe over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.

07

Cook for another 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing gently with the spatula, until the cheese is melted and the crepe is lightly golden and slightly crispy.

08

Remove the crepe from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tapioca mixture and filling to make the second crepe.

09

Serve immediately and enjoy your Brazilian Tapioca Crepes with Cheese and Coconut.

Chef's Tips

For best results, use a good quality non-stick skillet. The key to a perfect tapioca crepe is getting the tapioca flour's hydration just right; it should be moist but still crumbly. You can also make these savory by omitting the coconut and adding herbs or other cheeses.

Easy Substitutions

Instead of mozzarella, try a mild white cheese like Minas cheese (if available) or even a mild cheddar. For a sweeter version, you can add a drizzle of condensed milk or honey after cooking.

Storage & Reheating

Tapioca crepes are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a dry skillet over low heat until warmed through.
