Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, plain yogurt, and gelatin in the baking or dairy aisles of local supermarkets. Fresh guavas can be found at local produce markets; if fresh guavas are unavailable, high-quality guava paste thinned with water serves as a common local substitute.
Preparation method
- Hydrate the powdered gelatin in 6 tablespoons of cold water.
- Place the hydrated gelatin in a bain-marie until it dissolves completely.
- In a blender, process the condensed milk, milk, plain yogurt, and the dissolved gelatin.
- Pour the cream into a ring-shaped mold that has been lightly dampened with water.
- Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until the flan is firm.
- While the flan is chilling, prepare the syrup: peel and dice the guavas.
- 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 guavas are very tender and beginning to break down.
- Remove from heat and transfer the contents to a blender. Blend until a smooth purée is obtained.
- Return the guava purée to the pan and cook over low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens.
- If the syrup becomes too thick during cooking, add the remaining 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency.
- Allow the guava syrup to cool completely before serving it over the flan.
