Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 11x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the tapioca starch and Parmesan cheese. Add the cream cheese and mix with your hands until the mixture is well combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
  3. Place the mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the mixture from the freezer. Pinch off approximately 50g pieces and roll them into balls.
  5. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them as they may expand slightly during baking.
  6. Gently press down on the tops of the balls to flatten them slightly. Bake the chipas for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly golden.

Notes

  • How to Store
  • Chipa is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.
  • Reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds, but be careful not to overheat them, as they can become tough.
  • How to Freeze
  • To freeze the Chipa, shape the dough and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the freezer until firm.
  • Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag, removing excess air. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. When you want to bake, preheat the oven and bake the frozen Chipa, adjusting the baking time slightly as needed.
