Ingredients
250 g mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
200 g goiabada, cut into small cubes
200 g goiabada, cut into small cubes
Where to find ingredients
You can find mozzarella at most local supermarkets in the dairy aisle. Goiabada (guava paste) can be found in the international or Latin American specialty section of larger grocery stores. If you cannot find goiabada, you may substitute it with a very thick guava jam, though the original guava paste provides the best texture.
Preparation method
- Cut the mozzarella into small cubes.
- Cut the goiabada into small cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, gently toss the cheese and goiabada cubes together.
- Use the mixture immediately as a filling for your pastéis.
- Seal the edges of the pastéis tightly to ensure the filling does not leak during cooking.
