1 1/2 cups water (for the sauce)
1/2 cup water (optional, to adjust sauce consistency)
6 tablespoons cold water
1 can (approx. 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (use the empty condensed milk can as a measure) whole milk

Where to find ingredients
Find fresh guava at local farmers' markets or the produce aisle of supermarkets in Nassau. For canned goods like sweetened condensed milk and pantry staples, standard grocery stores are the best source. Plain yogurt can be found in the refrigerated dairy section. If fresh guavas are unavailable, high-quality guava paste thinned with a little water can serve as a substitute for the sauce.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the powdered gelatin in 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Gently heat the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until it has completely dissolved.
- In a blender, combine the condensed milk, milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin, pulsing until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a ring mold that has been lightly rinsed with water.
- Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until the flan is firm and set.
- While the flan chills, prepare the sauce: peel the guavas and cut them into cubes.
- Place the guava cubes in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit is very tender and beginning to break down.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a blender; process until a smooth purée is achieved.
- Return the guava purée to the saucepan and cook over low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- If the sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add the optional 1/2 cup of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Allow the guava sauce to cool completely before pouring it over the chilled flan to serve.
