I'm Brazilian and the traditional recipe doesn't call for mozzarella. We use 'queijo de manteiga' or whey butter cheese. The taste and texture is completely different. But thanks for the recipe, it's probably the second best thing to the original for those who can't come and visit.

One star, didn't like it. I followed the directions to a tee. I was blindly optimistic, but it turned out to be as bad as it sounds.

Wonderful! Delicious and easy to prepare - and very authentic tasting. I had been searching for years for this recipe after tasting it at an international festival and was pleasantly surpised to find it here. I would serve this as a dessert to company - it is sweet, caramelly, and a different twist on the idea of fruit & cheese as a dessert course. It cooks in just minutes and worked well with "just ripened" bananas because they held their shape well. Make sure to cut your cheese very thinly - so that it melts and gets all gooey quickly from the heat of the bananas. After consulting with the recipe poster, I learned that the authentic cheese used is queijo de mantiega (butter cheese) if you can find that in your area. I used the mozzarella and thought it was definitely an acceptable choice. I will be making this one again!
