Popular Dessert
Beyond the crepe cone, 'Romeu e Julieta' is a very common dessert in Brazil, appearing in cakes, pastries, and as a simple pairing served after meals.
Festive Occasions
While enjoyed year-round, the flavors are frequently present during festive celebrations and special occasions.
Premium Feature
The dish presents a delightful sweet and savory flavor profile, combining the fruity sweetness of guava with the creamy, often slightly salty, taste of cheese.
The guava paste (goiabada) offers a concentrated, sweet, and slightly tangy taste reminiscent of guava fruit. The cheese, typically a fresh white cheese like Minas cheese or a similar mild variety, provides a creamy, slightly salty, and balancing element that complements the sweetness of the guava.
Premium Feature
Cheese Selection
While Minas cheese is traditional, experiment with other mild, fresh cheeses like ricotta or cream cheese for variations in texture and flavor.
Guava Paste Quality
Opt for a high-quality guava paste with a rich, natural guava flavor, avoiding overly sugary or artificial-tasting varieties.
Crepe Freshness
Make the crepes fresh for the best texture. A thin, slightly crispy crepe complements the soft filling nicely.
Presentation
Garnish the cone with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of guava syrup for an appealing presentation.
