1 1/2 cups water (for the sauce)
1/2 cup water (optional, to adjust sauce consistency)
6 tablespoons cold water
1 can (approx. 395g) sweetened condensed milk
1 can whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can for measurement)

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh red guavas at local fruit markets or specialty grocers. For the staples like condensed milk and yogurt, any standard supermarket aisle will suffice. If fresh guavas are unavailable, high-quality guava paste or frozen guava pulp may be used as a substitute, though the texture and cooking times for the sauce will vary.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the gelatin powder in the 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Dissolve the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until completely smooth.
- In a blender, process the condensed milk, milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin until combined.
- Pour the mixture into a ring mold that has been lightly moistened with water.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the flan is firmly set.
- While the flan sets, prepare the sauce: peel and dice the guavas.
- Place the guava pieces in a saucepan with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and beginning to break down.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender. Process until smooth.
- Return the guava puree to the pan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, stir in the optional 1/2 cup of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Allow the guava sauce to cool completely before pouring over the unmolded flan.
