Romeu e Julieta
Brazilian dessert made of cheese and guava paste / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romeu e Julieta (Portuguese: [ʁoˈmew i ʒuliˈetɐ] ⓘ; lit. 'Romeo and Juliet') is a traditional Brazilian dessert made of cheese and goiabada.[1] While the most simplistic form of this dessert consists of goiabada over a slice of cheese, desserts and foods can be prepared into Romeu e Julieta versions of themselves by incorporating goiabada and cheese into the recipe.[2] The dessert's name is a reference to the title romantic couple of the Shakespearean classic Romeo and Juliet with cheese representing Romeu and goiabada representing Julieta.[1]
