Tapioca, the base of Beijú, has indigenous origins in Brazil, predating European colonization. Indigenous populations extracted starch from cassava roots and used it to create a variety of foods. Doce de Leite, while its exact origins are debated, became popular in Latin America during colonial times as a way to preserve milk.

Beijú com Doce de Leite offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The subtly nutty and slightly chewy tapioca crepe provides a neutral base for the intense sweetness and creamy richness of the Doce de Leite.
The flavor profile hinges on the quality of the ingredients. The tapioca should be freshly made, offering a subtle, slightly earthy taste. The Doce de Leite should be smooth, intensely sweet, and possess a distinct caramel flavor with hints of milk. The textures contrast beautifully: the slightly chewy crepe against the smooth, almost melt-in-your-mouth Doce de Leite.

Tapioca Texture
Use a fine tapioca starch (goma de tapioca). Hydrate it lightly with water until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid over-hydrating, as this will result in a soggy crepe. The perfect texture is slightly chewy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Doce de Leite Quality
Opt for high-quality Doce de Leite. Homemade is often the best, but commercially available options can also be excellent. Look for a smooth, creamy texture and a rich caramel flavor.
Heat Control
Cook the tapioca crepe over medium heat. Too high of heat will burn the outside before the inside is cooked through. Too low of heat will result in a dry, brittle crepe.
Serving Temperature
Serve Beijú com Doce de Leite immediately after preparation. The warm crepe and the slightly melted Doce de Leite create the most enjoyable experience.
