Ingredients
1 envelope of unflavored powdered gelatin
6 tablespoons of cold water
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can as a measure)
2 pots of plain yogurt
6 medium red guavas
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups of water (for the syrup)
1/2 cup of water (optional, for adjusting syrup consistency)
6 tablespoons of cold water
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can as a measure)
2 pots of plain yogurt
6 medium red guavas
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups of water (for the syrup)
1/2 cup of water (optional, for adjusting syrup consistency)
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh red guavas at local produce markets or specialty fruit stalls. Unflavored gelatin, condensed milk, and plain yogurt are standard items available at any well-stocked grocery store. For a substitute, if fresh red guavas are unavailable, high-quality guava paste thinned with water can be used as a base for the syrup.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the powdered gelatin in 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Dissolve the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until completely smooth.
- In a blender, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin, pulsing until well integrated.
- Pour the cream mixture into a ring mold that has been lightly dampened with cold water.
- Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until the flan is thoroughly set.
- While the flan sets, prepare the syrup: peel the guavas and cut them into chunks.
- Place the guava chunks into a saucepan with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the guavas are tender and beginning to break down.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender, processing until a smooth purée is achieved.
- Return the purée to the pan and cook over low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, 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.
