Erica,
I love fresh white farm cheese! I’ve had it in Colombia, but can’t find it here. Mozzarella is much saltier, and isn’t as good. Is there a cheese by another name I should look for here? I’m in The Seattle area….
Erica Dinho says

This brings back memories from when I was a kid! So delicious!
I didn’t have any ripe plantains today but I did have ripe bananas so I used those instead and served it over vanilla ice cream. This was a hit with my husband and kids!
