Check if the yuca is ready by piercing it with a fork; it should be soft.

Drain the yuca and remove the center part.

Mash the yuca well to make a purée, adding salt to taste.

Take a portion of the purée and shape it into a zeppelin form.

Fill the shape with mozzarella cheese and close it tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out.

Let the shaped carimañolas rest for a moment.

Heat oil in a pan for frying.

Fry the carimañolas in hot oil for about 10 minutes until golden brown.

Prepare a quick sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of cream cheese with a splash of lemon juice and hot sauce to taste.
