At SOBEWFF 2026, Florida Milk brought dairy to life with our Signature Brazilian Cheese Bites—crispy on the outside, warm and irresistibly cheesy on the inside. Crafted with whole Florida Milk and a bold blend of aged and fresh cheeses, these golden bites are paired with a vibrant trio of sweet, savory, and spicy sauces inspired by Miami flavor.

  2. In a saucepan, heat milk, butter, and salt until just simmering.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in tapioca flour until fully combined.
  4. Allow mixture to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth and glossy.
  5. Fold in mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan until evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.

  4. Reduce heat to low and whisk in cheddar, parmesan, and cream cheese until smooth.

  6. Keep warm over low heat until serving.
