Chipa de Queso Cottage
Chipa de Queso Cottage (Chipa with Cottage Cheese) is a variation of the traditional Paraguayan chipa.Made with yuca starch, cottage cheese, eggs, and butter, it has a mild flavor that sets it apart from other types of chipa.
Ingredientes
- 600 g yuca starch (tapioca starch)
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder (optional)
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g semi-hard cheese (optional)
Instrucciones
- Preheat the oven to 260°C (500°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with oil.
- In a large bowl, mix the yuca starch, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the softened butter and eggs. Mix the butter and eggs until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the dough is smooth and uniform. If the dough is too soft, add more starch until it becomes moldable.
- Knead the dough and form balls of about 50 g each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the balls are lightly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Notas
Storage: Once cooled, store Chipa con queso cottage in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave, but avoid overheating, as this can cause them to become hard.
Make Ahead: You can shape the dough into balls and place them on a prepared baking sheet ahead of time. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake directly from the fridge as directed in the recipe—no need to bring it to room temperature.
Freezing: To freeze, shape the dough as instructed and place the unbaked chipas on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
Label and store for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, place the frozen chipas directly on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
