Ingredients
- 250 ml Evaporated Milk (1 hour in the freezer or refrigerator overnight)
- 8 ripe Guavas or 1 large tin canned Guavas (Fresh guavas peeled and cooked in sugar syrup)
- 250 ml Water
- 125 ml Sugar
- 45 ml Custard powder
- 60 ml Sugar
Servings: people
Instructions
- Peel and cut the guavas in bite-size chunks. Cook the fresh guavas in 125 ml sugar and 250 ml of water for about 10 minutes, set aside to cool.
- Take your “guava sugar-syrup” and add water to it, to make 500 ml of liquid. Make a paste of the 60 ml sugar and custard powder and add this to your syrup. Bring this to a boil on medium heat, stirring all the time until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Beat the Evaporated milk till stiff (this will give your desert lift and volume). Add the “guava sugar-syrup” and guavas, fold in. Serve within an hour or two. The “delight” disappear after that and the desert becomes runny.
- You can certainly use canned guavas instead of fresh ones. If you do, follow the recipe from step 2. This dessert serves 6 but can be enough for 8 people if divided into smaller portions.
