Romeu and Julieta

Brazilian dessert made of cheese and guava paste

Romeu e Julieta is a traditional Brazilian dessert made of cheese and goiabada. 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. 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.
