Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Measure out 1 cup of flour and add it to a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of milk and 1 cup of water to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of roasted sweet corn and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients together and let the batter sit until it thickens.

Slice fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/4 inch thick chunks, using about 3 to 4 wheels per cachapa.

Preheat an 8-inch skillet for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and coat it without browning.

Pour enough batter into the skillet to form a cachapa about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook for about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip it over.

Add mozzarella cheese on top of the flipped cachapa and let it cook until the cheese melts.
